I MET a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert ... Near them, on the
sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage [face] lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which still survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away. Which of the following would be an additional example of situational irony?
Learning the traveler did not expect to see a broken statue in the desert
Learning the traveler found more ruins
Learning the king expected his statue to crumble
Learning the king knew he would be forgotten as time passed
This is indirect characterization, because the excerpt does not explicitly say he was mad at his grandmother. Instead, it gives an implicit clue that he is via body language.
