"Ozymandias" by Percy Shelley Analysis by Kevin Nguyen

The Poem I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand, Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things, The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains: round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Annotated Poem

Specifics Literary time period: Romantic Purpose of the poem: Win a sonnet writing contest Style: Sonnet, Iambic Pentameter Tone: Mocking Themes: Art withstands time (or at least it lasts much longer than any other manmade creation) Everything diminishes with time regardless of its grandure

Writing for an AP prompt Main sections to talk about: The contrast between the survival of the artist's sculpture and the destruciton of Ozymandias' kingdom. Irony of the King's claim that he has the most powerful kingdom when he only has a desert to show for his work. The scultptor's skill is still evident despite the statue(especially its face) being in ruins. Possible Thesis: Shelley utilizes a variety of literary features to assert that despite the decay of time, art will live on far beyond the world around it. Possible Topic sentences: Mocking the king, Shelley emphasizes the vastness of Ozymandias' great kingdom in the past and compares it to the present where only his statue remains. Shelley also highlights the artist's ability in the creation of the statue.
