1.	What is a sonnet? How does P.B. Shelly develop the main thought in the sonnet?
Answer» A sonnet is a poem of fourteen lines with a structured rhyme scheme. Each line contains ten syllables. The single idea runs throughout the poem. The idea is that all power, pelf, glory and grandeur are short-lived. The ravages of time spare none. The ‘king of kings’, Ozymandia’s dream of dazzling and overawing the world with his authority and feats. He lies shattered and buried in the boundless and bare sand of the desert.
