In several ways, Shelly vividly depicts the broken statue of

Ozymandies. She gave the idea that he was a certain type of

monarch during his time as a ruler, among other things. This
may be observed in the sentence "on the sand, Half sunk a
shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and
sneer of cold command" , as well as, “ The hand that
mocked them and the heart that fed “. The carved clues
reveal a little bit about the character hiding beneath the cold
statue of stone. The diction used conveys Ozymandies’
remarks with a tone that is completely antagonistic, evoking
a feeling of the ruler's contempt through his scowl, pursed
lips, and scathing sneer. Shelly continues, explaining how she
felt "the hand that mocked and heart that fed." She uses a
subtle alliteration to connect the two concepts. The poem's
few words of appreciation are reserved for this anonymous
artisan. a delicate, breathy sound made, complements the
nearly undetectable perception of the craftsman's presence.
Additionally, it demonstrates that although the king's actions
revealed his mockery of his people, his heart was not entirely
depraved since he provided food and care for them. Even
though he fed them, he treated them with distaste. Shelley is
making a statement on the enduring quality of art and the
tendency for one's terrible traits to outlive their positive ones
by pointing out that these features can still be seen, even
after all memory of Ozymandias and his empire has
vanished.This gives the reader a glimpse of Ozymandias'
character and leadership throughout history.
She also clearly portrayed the arrogance of Ozymandies and
his crumbling kingdom. In the text, this is visible “ on the
pedestal these words appear, My name is Ozymandias, king
of kings, Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’, Nothing
beside remains “. Even more clearly than the statue itself,
the pedestal maintains Ozymandias' identity. However, these
‘works’ that are referred here no longer exist, as revealed by
the speaker noting that ‘Nothing beside remains’. We
interpret from this that Shelly is employing irony. The
inscription filled anybody who read it with dread and horror,
demonstrating his power and strengthening his pride,
although an unending desert consumed his enormous
kingdom, and ultimately, the greatest of kings, Ozymandies,
like every other king, met his end. This illustrates how
Ozymandies’ strength and power has decreased over
time reducing him to "trunkless legs of stone “. This also
demonstrates how being proud and arrogant never serves
anybody good, as all of the reasons for being proud fade
away with time. The reader understands that the not
everything lasts forever, just like how Ozymandies' legacy
and empire has vanished .
