Do you think the traveller was awed by the statue of ozymandias?
Answers
Answer:
In the ancient land, a traveler saw a broken statue of a man whose legs were remaining and the bust was at a distance. Below the statue on the pedestal, there was a message inscribed:" I am Ozymandias, the king of Kings. See this great statue of mine and despair". The poem “Ozymandias” by “Percy Bysshe Shelley” is about a traveler who tells the poet that there is a statue of a man called Ozymandias. It has only the legs left standing in the ground and a shattered head in the sand. The king got his statue made in the notion that people would remember him for his greatness and majesty. But he only known for his arrogance.
Ozymandias was a self-obsessed and arrogant king. He loved himself more than the people of his kingdom. The statue was made by a skilled artisan who made the statue meticulously. He made a stern face of the king, to depict no emotions and wrinkled lips to denote his cruelty. The sculptor wanted to show the at a person is only remembered for his behavior.

The traveller tells the narrator of a ruin he has seen of a fallen statue, with "two trunkless legs of stone" in one area, and nearby, "a shattered visage lies," that is, the head and face. More important, we learn that the whoever sculpted the statue must have known and understood the character of his subject because he was able to capture the "wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command" of Ozymandias. In other words, the traveller is clearly looking at the fallen monument to a once great, powerful, commanding person.
