Question

Justify the title ozymandias

Answer 1

Hope it may be helpful

ozymandias a simple, one-word title, suggests the focus of the poem will be on Ozymandias, whoever that might be. The name sounds "Oriental," and at the time Shelley wrote the poem, in 1819, there was much interest in England in all things "Oriental," so the title would have sparked interest in contemporary audiences. (As Edward Said has shown, "the Orient" stretched in the popular imagination as a "single monolith" from the Middle East to Asia.) The short title, with its commanding sound, also suggests that we will read about a commanding person.

Answer 2

The picture of Ozymandias that emerged in your mind is that of king who had all the negative qualities these get reflect in his facial expression and what he got the written on the pedestal of his statue actually he did all these perpetuate his memory for peristiraty but nothing can stand against all powerful and commanding King great hated. Which he left in the later part of his life. That's why he got the inscription sculpted. The word ‘Despair’ represent this awareness of time . Now the dust surrounds is broken statue all his qualities ‘positive’ for him have gone to dust, this is faith of everything living.
