Shelly portrays power as a possession truly honoured to nature, who deserves it and when those who don't deserve, have it, they will be at the feet of nature and justice will be preseved, eliminating them from history. Shelly framed the poem as a story to make it clear that the narrator hasn't seen the statue himself but only heard about it, further demonstrating a lack of remembrance of such a tyrannical dictator as shelly uses 2nd person. A "traveller", known for searching for the truth stumbled upon an antique land which they said " two vast and trundles legs of stone, stand in the desert." An opening straight to the mystery of something "trunkless" conveys a message that it has no support possibly showing no one has remembered ozymandias, as his only support is his statue and fam which is now "boundless and bare" to be on a "antique land", his legacy is so insignificant, it is now only coincidentally stumbled upon travellers by travellers. Shelly crafts the setting "in the desert" suggesting an absence of life and vitality. Ozymandias' statue is "half sunk" creating a sense of irony that even the powerful dictator himself can't control the omnipotent effects of time and nature, dismantling his purpose of always being know for his might power. The image of "shattered visage" further more crafts a deep sense of irony. Not only just a king but the "king of Kings" who believed so strongly in his own power and superiority and who tried excessively hard to preserve and present the image of greatness through his tyrannical and oppressed leading, towards slaves building the statue has now been forgotten, futile and destroyed by the true "king of Kings" nature. Shelly furthermore demonstrates Ozymandias as a tyrannical and arrogant leader full of hubris whose power is now at the feet of nature, as the description of the statue is now a "frown" and " sneer of cold command " the use of alliteration of the hard "C" reflects Ozymandias harsh and tyrannical nature. His "wrinkled lip" evokes the image of someone in disgust hence displaying ozymandias disregardment for his slaves as futile workers and dehumanising them. This antipathy is then further paired with immense power which enables ozymandias to exploit and torture the people who he rules with no empathy and remorse. Shelly strategically uses this to showcase the danger and impact of a single individual having immense power, enabling him to see all others as inferior and abuse his power to overly oppress people. Shelly puts "survived" and "lifeless" on the same line hinting to us how art can outcast human power but the ruined statue is used to ultimately show it is in the end futile. "My name is ozymandias king of Kings, look on my words ye mighty and despair." These lines reveal ozymandias immense hubris as he's referring to himself as "king of kings" also a biblical reference in the bible to describe God. He disllayes extreme arrogance creating a sense of irony as we can see his work reduced to dust and "nothing besides remains". Shelly uses the contrast between his boastful words and the reality of his runied statue to emphasise how even the mightiest of rulers and "king of Kings" are now consequently eventually forgotten have their fatal harmatia and at the feet of nature Shelly skillfully describes the desert as "boundless and bare" and "lone and level" illustrating the vast powerful extent of nature and its specialties and powerful ability to surpass all forms of superiority and man's power. Finally shelly ends the last sentence as "sands stretched far away" as a metaphor to clearly indicate the passing of time and also how time can quickly and effortlessly erase and decay the power of man. Showcasing nature is the only perfect example of this.
