Question

I MET a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert ... Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage [face] lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which still survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Select one piece of evidence that supports the situational irony of the poem. (10 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

My name is ozymandias Kings of Kings look on my words ye mighty and despair

Explanation:

if he were the king of Kings n stronger than anyone else he would have saved his statue from being shaterred into pieces, it shows that nothing remains still against the power of time not even ozymandias, most importantly the hand which gave the statue life is still alive stamped on the lifeless things, it shows how the mighty king have fallen, no one mourns him but everyone remembers the brilliant sculptor. In my opinion this can be shown as a situational irony

i hope this helps
