The poem Ozymandias highlights the vanity of human glory and power. It conveys that no human emotion of arrogance and Pride assures immortality and durability against the all powerful time and nature. All paths of Glory lead to the grave. Nothing lives forever in this world. Therefore the pride of power and pelf is all useless. Only other good actions live after our death. Even the mightiest of mighty human beings mix with dust.No trace of them is left on the Sands of Time.
Ozymandias was a very powerful king of Egypt. He was proud of his glory and achievements. He thought that no one could equal him in his Mighty achievements. He wanted to immortalize his name and got a statue built in a temple. But nothing could stand against the time and powerful elements of nature and his statue lay broken in the desert.

Ans : King Ozymandias considered himself to be the
king of kings. He ruled over his empire with a firm hand.
He fed his subjects but regarded them as inferior. He was
boastful of his power and considered himself to be above
all. He believed that no one will ever be able to equal his
achievements. He considered himself to be blessed with
extraordinary powers. The king was so intoxicated with
power and passion that the welfare of his people was never
his consideration. He believed himself to be above law and
destiny. Ironically his statue and the surroundings proved
just the opposite. He believed himself to be even greater
than other kings — the Emperor of all.
