- 13024: Ozymandias
- Ozymandias This sonnet is written to express to the speaker that possessions don't mean immortality - ironically, the king who seemed to think that his kingdom would remain under his statue's egotistical gaze forever teaches us this through his epitaph.

In the end, the King's "works" are nothing, and the lines inscribed upon his statue are a sermon to those who read it. The tone of " ...

Without Jack and Ralph's problems, life would have been easy, and the `darkness of man's heart' would not have been conveyed to the reader. Jack shows `the darkness' and if he and Ralph had just been friends, ...
