1.	What is your impression of Ozymandias as a king?
Answer» Shelley presents Ozymandias as a very powerful ruler. He calls himself ‘the king of kings’. He is mighty and proud of his power and achievements. He is contemptuous of other lesser mortals. He challenges all the powerful and mighty persons to look upon his wonderful feats. They will get lost in deep achievements and overawed by his power and authority. The ‘sneer of cold command’ on the face of the statue tells much about his character.
