Question

What is the tone of the poem, Ozymandias by P.B. Shelley ? Is it Gloating or Mocking ? Please Elaborate. ​

Answer 1

hi dude

The second part of the poem, the six lines that form the sestet, employ a shift in tone. Now the tone is ironic and mocking. "Nothing," "decay," "Wreck," "boundless," and "bare" create an image of the ruins of that once-monumental statue, insinuating the ruin of the memory of Ozymandias.

hope it helps
