1.	Bring out the irony in the poem.
Answer» The words of Ozymandias, ‘the king of kings’ prove to be tragic and ironical. The irony in the poem is brought about by the message that the poem gives to the readers. The memorial or the huge statue was erected to overawe and dazzle the posterity. It displayed the power, glory and grandeur of king Ozymandias. But what is the result? The statue that was to perpetuate Ozymandias’ memory lies broken into pieces on the sand in a desert. Nothing has remained except the boundless and bare sand stretching all around.
