    Futility: Poetry and Owen

    Futility ~ Wilfred Owen Move him into the sun -
Gently its touch awoke him once‚
At home‚ whispering of fields unsown.
Always it woke him‚ even in France‚
Until this morning and this snow.
If anything might rouse him now
the kind old sun will know. Think how it wakes the seeds‚ -
Woke‚ once‚ the clays of a cold star.
Are limbs‚ so dear-achieved‚ are sides‚
Full-nerved - still warm - too hard to stir?
Was it for this the clay grew tall?
- O what made fatuous sunbeams toil
to break earth’s sleep

    the landsape of war in ‘The Show’? Owen presents both the physical landscape of war and the emotional and social landscape of war through a variety of poetic devices such as language and imagery.

    ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’ and ‘Anthem for Doomed Youth’ are both poems that protest against and depict the subject of war. They both follow Wilfred Owen’s angst against those who encourage war and the savagery of warfare that he experienced himself. His poetry was devised to strike at the conscience of England during the World War. Owen’s mother had encouraged him to write poetry from an early age and when he was old enough he travelled to France to teach English when the war broke out. He then went

    ‘Mametz Wood’ and ‘Futility’. ‘Mametz Wood’ and ‘Futility’ both present different ideas about death. Sheers shows ideas about the deaths of many soldiers‚ whereas Owen presents ideas about the death of only one soldier. ‘Mametz Wood’ suggests the fragility of life when Sheers writes ‘broken bird’s egg of a skull’. The metaphor gives the image of a young and vulnerable hatchling that could be easily broken at any point‚ just as the soldiers were who fought in the First World War. Like an egg hitting

    • 3 Pages

    "Futility" Futility means that something is destined to fail. The quality of producing no valuable effect‚ or of coming to nothing; uselessness. The structure of the poem is in balanced stanzas - the tenderness and hopefulness at the beginning; the growing bitterness of the second‚ with its climax. Owen is telling the persona’s story of the death of a comrade as a balance. This has to happen as so many of them died that there still has to be a degree of sanity left in them. "Futility" mourns the
