bring out the irony in the poem Ozymandias
Answers

The central piece of irony in this poem is that the statue of Ozymandias was constructed to show off his power and grandeur, but when the poem's narrator stumbles across it (in what seems to be much further in the future) it is mostly ruins in a remote desert. The poem highlights the reality that all of humankind and our creations are ephemeral. No matter a person's status or power in their day, they will eventually perish.
Hope this will help you ^_^
