Ozymandias

In Percy (Bysshe) Shelley’s poem Ozymandias what he seemed to be as a mighty king that would all the time build statues of himself to portrait himself as this “King Of Kings” Even though across the land he was though of as a high and mighty being, even above gods. No matter how much power one has, it will always come to and end no matter what you do. After a short period of time Ozymandias’ ambition to keep going had fallen into nothing but rubble and debris. This demonstrates that Ozymandias’ ambition for power and fame had to find it’s end whether. he liked it or not. In this poem it also mentions “The hand that Mocked them and the Heart that fed.”

This special piece of the poem allows me to understand that Ozymandias what a great show off and a powerful man, he mocked all he has seen with his hand, and he fed that power to himself and left the others pointless to nothing.
