The two poems, Hardy’s “The Man He Killed” and Owen’s “Strange Meeting,” serve as effective counter-war-propaganda tools that demystify a crucial element of war ideology that the enemy is an Other: the enemy is unlike me. Wilfred, an outspoken poet of the evils of war, and Thomas Hardy, who penned in some of his poems his abhorrence to war, show that the Other, which stands for their enemies, could have been a friend had the spatiotemporal factors been different. Both poets enact an imaginary meeting between the speakers and their enemies to depict the human side in their enemies. Moreover, the paper traces the various poetic techniques that are employed by those poets to achieve this goal. Whereas Owen, for instance, uses pararhyme to depict the fallacy of war claims by drawing attention to the unlikelihood of the meeting in real life, Hardy resorts to orthography to probe the sense of guilt his speaker endures as a result of killing his “enemy.” The form of the two poems contributes to the sense that war propaganda fails to sustain itself in legitimizing the act of killing and in providing a shield against the feeling of remorse. Throughout the two poems, the Other is no longer a stranger nor is an enemy in the first place. Owen finds that his enemy is a poet who has similar dreams and ambitions. Thomas Hardy, on the Other hand, reflects on how he could have offered the man he killed in battle a drink or even lent him money had they met elsewhere.
