Thought bubble

 

In this activity, we will be jogging your memory by comparing the content of 'Ozymandias', with the poems you best see fit, out of the options you get given. 

Before we begin, here's a quick list of the key content you could talk about and use to compare with other poems:

Power

Pride

Art and Culture

Metaphors/personification

Transience

Nature

Imagery

 

You can definitely think of any other themes which you think Shelley uses, as long as you have the evidence to show that it is a recurring idea throughout the poem.

Remember: take your time, as there's no rush and make sure to jot down any explanations which you find helpful!

 

You should always refer to your own text when working through these examples. These quotations are for reference only.
