Question

ozymandias and Not marble nor gilded monuments are on time .compare the two sonnets in term of the way in which time is treated by the poet. question of class tenth chapter "ozymandias" and "not marble nor gilded monuments. "

Answer 1

Both "Ozymandias" and "Not marble, nor gilded monuments" propagate the idea that no man-made structure will endure the test of time. Ozymandias made a splendid city by tyrannizing his subjects and  thought that it will stay there for ever for the world to see and despair. He thought that he would be admired by the world for ever. But when the traveler came upon his statue, it was broken and half buried in the desert sand. All that remained was the pedestal of the statue with his two legs and the arrogant inscription on it and a broken face. Everything else was destroyed in the course of time.

The other sonnet "Not marble, nor gilded monuments" conveys the idea that all the works of man are mortal and subjected to decay as time goes by. They lose their glitter and are destroyed. He compares the life of such monuments with that of literature. While man-made marble structures and monuments suffer devastation, the literature remains untarnished in the mind of generations till the dooms day.

‘OZYMANDIAS’ and ‘NOT MARBLE NOR THE GILDED MONUMENTS’ have time at their centre this element is unseen in these poem yet it controls both of them in fact the theme of these two poems cojoin. Basically the common thing is that time is all powerful with the passage of time all living things and things of art start degenerating Ozymandias statue is now in a bad shape its two trunkless legs stands and the trunk and face lie broken obviously time has claimed them.

In Not Marble Nor The Gilded Monuments princess and Kings get the monuments constructed in their memories, wars, tide, nature spoil them and these monuments and statues are destroyed by all powerful times, however as contrasted to them the poet beloved when beliefs. Thus, in both the sonnets time is soon as most powerful elements. Ozymandias thought himself the most powerful yet he too felt way not so against time the poet thus uses time as the most powerful.
