Does anyone know the famous poem Ozymandias .....?
I have to make the connections to it, which I did, but now I have to make one text to another. Can you think of a book or story that reminds you of this .... please help best answer gets 10 points !!!!!!! (in this case is the poem) I met a traveler from an ancient land who said: "Two great without trunk and legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose wrinkles brow and lip and sneer of cold command Tell that its sculptor passions read which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and that feed the heart. And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, and mighty, and despair! "Nothing remains. Round the decay of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, The lone and level sands stretch far away. for extra points ... one can say how it relates to you do?
My first thought when it comes to comparing the texts is Gatsby 'The Great Gatsby. "I read this poem before - had a discussion in class about it, too - and I'm always a little depressed by the image of the broken statue (because it represents the inevitability of time), but I'm also cheered by type the fact that this great king is arrogant, like the rest of us, just dust, after all. really see this in many ways, as a reflection of the "tragic hero" Figure on a lot of literature. Most heroes are rich, noble and / or success, but then falls into despair. I'm ignoring the real tradition tragic hero, here, but mostly works. For Gatsby, it is tragic that this person who spends his life trying to impress a long lost love time with their wealth and power and, ultimately, only sad ending, broken - and dead. similar examples? Macbeth - who killed his king to obtain power, but ended up being destroyed by his ambition. In the end, like all others, could not escape death. Personally, I think the poem is a good example of "memento mori" or the concept of "remembrance of death" that sometimes get so caught up in ourselves (and life) that we forget that, no matter what, we are still only mortals "game round" of the fingers of time "(to quote Zora Neale Hurston). Hope this helped a little.
