The four characters in the poem Ozymandias, by P.B. Shelley are: The narrator, the traveler who has returned from ancient land of Egypt where he saw the ruins of King Ozymandias's statues, the King Ozymandias, and the sculptor who had created the King's statues.
Theme of the poem
The poem highlights man's attempt to immortalize himself. However all his attempts prove futile. Man is mortal indeed! In the eternal onward march of life kings, emperors, despots, generals, etc. do not matter at all! Life is immortal. He doesn’t know what its design is! When in the long past, Ozymandias was such a mighty king in Egypt, he was so high-handed and arrogant of his power, wealth, and valour. He thought nobody could defeat him. He won many wars against his adversaries also. He got his statues built throughout his kingdom so that people would look at his works and shudder. However, his glory lasted only a few years. He became old, weak, and finally died. He was so sad at the approaching death. All his wealth, victories, and pride could not save him from the claws of death!
After a few centuries not even a trace of his kingdom was left! His palace, his wealth, the statues and buildings he had got built, all decayed into ruins. His statues lie broken, surrounded by sandy deserts on all sides. Not a single statue is intact! All broken! All men are equal. It does not matter whether you are a common man or an emperor! All die at the end. All power belongs to time, life, and God, who created the both. Only art and creativity survive. For example, the sculptor who sculpted his statue, he has survived till now in his art. Life is so complex and powerful.
