Ozymondias by Percy Bysshe Shelley
- It is about an Egyptian pharaoh who was called Ramesses II
- He saw part of a statue of the pharaoh at a museum
- He ruled with tyranny and was extremely egocentric
- Shelley was a romantic poet
- It is a sonnet, but it is neither
petrarchan nor
shakespearean, which
reflects that Ramesses didn't
conform to anyone else
- 'lone and level', the
alliteration creates a long
sound, which shows that he
has slowly disappeared and
been forgotten
- 'half sunk and shattered visage', this is quite ironic, as he used
to look down on people and now they look down on him
- Line 10, where he says his name, has an extra syllable, which shows that he thinks he deserves extra respect
- The caesura is symbolic of the fact that his legacy has ended
- 'survive, stamped', the
sibilance mocks the sand of
sand blowing
