what is ironey in poem ozyamandias
Answers
Irony of the poem Ozyamandias is that the king described him as the king of kings and make a statue of him in the middle of the city to prove him best from all kings. But his all devotions go on faint . All the city became desert and his statue was also broken and he was never remind by anyone
In Percy Bysshe Shelleys poem Ozymandias, there is an overriding irony presented to show the difference between the sculptor and the sculpture.
The poem’s irony revolves around Ozymandias himself. The great irony here was having the pharaoh narrate the poem, boasting of all his greatness and power, yet all that he has ‘established’ now lies in ruins, crumbling through time, slowly joining the surrounding sands.
Ozymandias was so full of authority, even though there was nothing left of what he boasts. His kingdom and his glory now lie in the sands with only stone slabs.
