Introduction and Context
Scene Summary and Context Guide: 'Ozymandias' is a sonnet by Percy Bysshe Shelley that explores themes of the fleeting nature of power and human achievement. In the poem, a traveler recounts a ruined statue in the desert, bearing the inscription of a once-powerful king. The poem contrasts the grandeur of Ozymandias's empire with its current state of decay, emphasizing that all human accomplishments are temporary and subject to the ravages of time. Shelley uses vivid imagery and poetic devices such as metaphor and irony to underscore this message, prompting readers to reflect on the futility of arrogance and pride. The phrase 'Look on my Works' is a key quote from the poem, symbolizing hubris and the inevitable decline of power. The sonnet form, with its strict rhyme scheme, enhances the theme by creating a rhythmic reminder of the cyclical nature of history and human endeavors.
