Owen was a poet contemporary to Eliot, also writing WWI thematic poetry such as his poem [http://www.englishverse.com/poems/futility Futlity] which speaks of the war dead and futile attempts to wake them from their final slumber, as well as representing the destructive effects the war had on the land. ''The Waste Land'' has a continuous theme of futility and desolation in Europe following the war. | Owen was a poet contemporary to Eliot, also writing WWI thematic poetry such as his poem [http://www.englishverse.com/poems/futility Futlity] which speaks of the war dead and futile attempts to wake them from their final slumber, as well as representing the destructive effects the war had on the land.

The war dead are wandering the streets of London, they are vacant and empty as "death had undone so many" of the people, creating the zombies that the narrator sees. In Owen's poem "Futility", the same theme of the unknown factor that comes with death is present. "If anything might rouse him now", such as whatever roused the war dead in ''The Waste Land'' |
