Percy Shelley: Poems

Ozymandias" - Percy Bysshe Shelley

  1. Our first task is to understand what is said in the poem. Since this is a Petrarchan sonnet, there is a specific procedure for analyzing thought content. The octave of a sonnet will usually serve to outline a problem, a question, or a situation. Beginning with the octave, discuss the thoughts as they unfold in the poem. Be sure to answer these questions in your plot analysis: Why is the statue built? How does the artist feel about it? What look is on the statue's face?
