⭐️THE SHORT NOTE ON OZYMANDIAS⭐️

______________________________

This famous and remarkable Sonnet is written by the poet PB Shelley. The poem revolves around the foolish pride of the conceited King Ozymandias, whose statue symbolises the destruction caused by time.

A Traveller from the ancient land told the speaker about the broken state of the Statue of king Ozymandias. The statue which ones might have been great had lost all its sheen and Glory. Now, it lay in ruins. The trunk of the Statue was nowhere to be seen. Its to wash the leg remained on the pedestal and beside them on the sand was the kings Shattered face.

It was not the magnificence Ozymandias hoped for. He wanted to be remembered as a great king. But all his works are lost. Only the evidence of his face survives. In an attempt to immortalise himself as the King of Kings, Ozymandias has made a mockery of himself. He appears to be rather foolish for his short sightedness and pretentious behaviour. Shelley has pointed out that transience of human life and its pretentious of fame and fortune.

The poem ‘ Ozymandias highlights the vanity of human glory and power. It conveys that no human emotions of haughtiness, sneer, pride and arrogance assure immortality and durability against the all powerful time and nature.

The broken statue symbolises the destruction caused by time and the Sands, lone, boundless and bare symbolises the power of the elements.
