Sonnet Response "Ozymandias"

The author, Percy B. Shelly uses dramatic irony in this sonnet because she describes the base of what was a great statue on the middle of the desert with an inscription written by a king to look at all he had accomplished when there was nothing there but the remnants. She uses imagery to describe the secenery of the desert, the vastness and then the remnants of the statue. This could also be a refernce  to some parts in the Bible because Jesus says that it is easier for a camel to walk though a needle than  those who are great and wealthy the go into the kindom of heaven and that those who are last will be first and those who are first last in the knigdom of heaven. The poem is Petrarchan and shifts at the 8th line and starts with a the quote that is the irony of the whole poem.
