(Pieces of Work Influenced By Eliot and The Waste Land)
Line 74: Line 74:
 
Lines from "Futility" stating that "If anything might rouse him now / The kind old sun will know" are reminiscent of pieces of ''[http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/176735 The Waste Land]'' that speak of the dead, such as the zombie scene displayed in the first section of the poem, Burial of the Dead.  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''
