He went back to being king and then died trying to slay a dragon
Ozymandias thought so highly of himself that he had this statue built with that inscription to intimidate anyone who might come near it. He meant for it to be a warning to not try and invade or attack, the despair part is meant to be the person despairing because they could never be as great as Ozymandias.
The meaning is twisted though, as the statue crumbles with time showing that all leaders -- especially those who value themselves so highly--will fall.

I am pretty sure that in brooks' novel, the rector presents the plague as <span>a chance to save the souls of nonbelievers. I consider the third option as the correct one as author represented as if it will refine the villape people's souls.
Hope you will find it helpful!
