Ozymandias I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert.

This poem was published in 1978 by Joyce Carol Oates. I chose this poem because it very much speaks about the traditional roles of men and women‚ specifically towards married men and women.

Ozymandias Points to remember: 1. The statue of Ozymandias stands as a metaphor (symbol) of the temporal (not permanent) nature of political power. Time and history have a destructive power that brings all to an end. 2. The statue in the poem also symbolizes pride or ‘hubris’ (arrogance) of all humanity in any form it may take. 3. Material possessions do not last. 4. The poet points out to us that all that is left is art (the remains) and a few words (what is written on the pedestal)

English Literary Studies Assignment 1 Ozymandias was a powerful king‚ who ruled with an iron fist. Lines 4 and 5‚ “Half sunk‚ a shattered visage lies‚ whose frown”‚ “And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command” shows that Ozymandias ruled with contempt‚ dominance and conceit.

For example‚ we could be like Horace where in his poem Odes 3.30‚ he reflects how he believes that his work will be viewed positively. While Percy Bysshe Shelley says in Ozymandias‚ reveals that he believes that his work will be viewed negatively after he passes. Horace in his poem starts by stating that he has completed a monument that will last longer than bronze‚ greater than the pyramids which neither time‚ devouring
