The constant use of "you" and "world" shows the seperation between Bob Dylan, and what seems to be the leaders and government of the war effort. It also shows the seperation between good and evil.

Presents the idea of wealth and lavish lives amongst those who supply the war with weapons and soldiers. Who are earning by taking from others

judas was a betrayer of Jesus, giving up his location for pieces of silver. this connection implies that the government is shallow and willing to sacrifice others for their own personal gain

By using religious context it shows how many individuals looked up to a higher power for the safety and return.
"that even Jesus would never
forgive what you do."
Religious context also connects Owens poetry to the song.

the song is attacking the companies who are manufacturing and supplying weapons for war to continue on. it uses repetition to drive the nail further through the opening passage "You that build" and "You that hide."

in comparison to Owen's poems where he also directly attacks government officials, Bob Dylan critics the big companies making money off of war.

The government officials hiding behind a veil to protect themselves, and in a way hiding behind their money to remain anonymous to seem more powerful

The theme of control is shown through the higher ups telling the soldiers what to do rather than doing it themselves. They have this power because they have the money and they cn do whatever they want with it.
This connects to Wilfred Owen in Insensibility, where the higher ups are still controlling the soldiers, but also not caring about what happens to them

The perspective of the song follows a person, likely a soldier as seen in the line ”you put a gun in my hand” who is criticising and judging the actions of officials, governments and companies who are trying to endorse the war in order to make a profit, accusing them of not caring about the people who have died for their own gain.

A similarity between Bob Dylan’s ‘Master of War’ and Wilfred Owen’s poetry was how both the poems and ‘Master of War’ were written from the perspectives of someone who has had first-hand experience in the battlefield; a soldier who is then criticising the actions of higher-ups and people in power who are encouraging the war when they have no idea the true realities of what is really happening, as seen particularly in Dulce et Decorum est.

The situation of this song is that the higher ups of the war effort sending their men, who they see as numbers and not as people, to their death. Bob Dylan also talks about even his unborn children are sent to war through the governments threats and carelessness of they people in charge. This is shown through the quote "For threatening my baby, Unborn and Unnamed." Bob Dylan also talks about how that the higher ups build all of these "death plans" and still sit behind their cosy desks and offices, while people are sacrificing their lives for them.

This connects to Owen's poems through the subtle hints of attacking the government through carefully picked words scattered through his poem. The only difference between these two pieces is that Bob Dylan blatantly calls out the governments for their cowerdness while, Owens subtly attacks the government through examples and other constructed sentences.

The focus seems to surround the ideas of companies and governmental forces doing as they please and almost encouraging the war to carry on. However people do see right through the façade that is displayed.

The song 'Masters of War', the song responds to the government officials as well as business that make money from suffering from others. "You hide in your mansion" this shows wealth that many individuals carry, but just sit back and almost relax whilst people are fighting for their lives on the battlefield. Whilst Owens attacks the people who makes decisions on the battle front, Dylan attacks the individuals who control the war, through their wealth. Almost like how a ventriloquist plays with their puppet. "you play with my world
like its your little toy."

This song discusses the ideas of criticizing higher ups or businesses that create these bombs to create money from the war, the aggressive tone of judgement is emphasised to display the hurt committed to all young people.

There is a heavy focus on those who make money off the involvement in war. Bob Dylan is highly critical of their position and has a scathing tone towards them. Purpose is largely to communicate the horrors of the Vietnam War, and the atrocities companies and governing bodies attributed to.

This is similar to Owen's choice to expose the harshness of war and its reality. Bob Dylan is blunt in his depiction which is similarly seen in Owen's word choices.

the song directly addresses the government. bob Dylan uses uses "you" and "your" to directly address the government throughout the song. bob Dylan uses this song to voice his anger and disappointment surrounding war and people in higher power who abuse their positions in order to use soldiers as puppets to do their dirty work while they sit an watch in their expensive mansions.

the song also points out how people in power believe that wealth and money will forgive their wrongdoings

this connects to owens poem which also address the government

The focus of the song is to attack those who support and supply for the war. Through the lyrics, "When the death count gets higher, you hide in your mansion." This verse argues with those who supply funding and support for the war, showing their disregard for the loss of life. Discussing "mansion", presents the idea of those that are making profit off the war by supplying weapons etc. are spending the earnt money for their own benefit on things they don't need and are creating their own lavish lifestyle whilst others suffer.

The structure of the song isn't typically structured the way a song is normally structured with an obvious chorus and verses.

It seems to be one big verse broken up that flows well together. Which connects with the poetic form of Owens, and the freestyle versing of poetry.

Use of similes are present such as "you play with my world like it's your little toy"

Repetition is frequent throughout, such as "you that build" and "you that hide"

Some words and lines do have a direct or indirect rhyme pattern, but not always.

Masters of War's tone is very assertive, with confronting lines such as "I hope that you die" effortlessly included by Dylan, adding also to the direct and personal nature of the song. There are hints of aggression, though it appears to be born from a foundation of sorrow and fear of the consequences of war. Overwhelmingly, the tone is critical of those who manufacture weapons and other items that contribute to the sustenance of war, especially with the intent of profiting from these business practices.
