The subject matter of the poem "Strange Meeting" by Wilfred Owen is the futility and horror of war, exploring the tragic meeting of two soldiers in the afterlife. The poem delves into themes of guilt, forgiveness, and the devastating impact of war on individuals.
In "Futility" by Wilfred Owen, the figure of speech primarily manifests through imagery and personification. The poem vividly describes the sun as having the power to awaken and nurture life, contrasting this with the futility of its efforts in the face of death in war. The personification of the sun emphasizes its helplessness in the context of human suffering, highlighting the theme of despair and the senselessness of conflict. This juxtaposition deepens the emotional impact of the poem.

If World War First had a voice, we can say that it was Wilfred Owen, employed in active service, singing about the horrors of war and killed in action. In his brief life time, only four of his poems were published, but after his death, dozens of them were published and brought out as books. It is believed, many of them have not still come to light. Awarded the Military Cross for bravery posthumously, he passed away in poetic anonymity, knowing not about the fame that was to come to his name in future. Speaking for men in the trenches under his leadership was what he did through his poems, which, it seems, were all written during the last two years of his life, 1917 and 1918. Born in the year 1893, it seems he was 34 or 35 years old when he wrote the poem Futility.
