- Structure
- the use off enjambment creates an everlasting effect. this shows that the power of art will never end but human power will end.
- The use of caesura ‘Nothing beside remains.’ highlights to the reader how Ozymandias is no longer known and feared, despite his arrogance. The clear and blunt language perhaps also reveals how the narrator is unsympathetic towards the now long-gone ruler.
- Shelley has written the poem in the first person which makes the poem more immediate and shows us a real experience
