The theme of Ozymandias and  Eccelesutes 2:4-11  revolves around the fact that one would be humble and not arrogant about one's achievements and success.

Explanation:

  • Perce Bysshe Shelley in his poem Ozymandias makes it very clear that with time, even the most powerful things undergo decadence. The center of his explanation is the haughty statue of king Ozymandias who was mighty king of his time and who was known for his haughtiness. With the turn of events and after several decades post his rule, his haughty statue lies destroyed and destructed which was the symbol of the end of his vehemence and arrogance.
  • In Eccelesutes 2:4-11 as well the same theme has been discussed and mentioned. The verse in Ecclesiastes 2:4-11 talks about the idea that people should not be boastful and bragging or overly proud of their worldly or mundane achievements because of these are material achievements which is not there forever  
  • P.B Shelley in Ozymandias starts by referring to the haughtiness of the king in the lines, " My name is Ozymandias, king of kings, my right there is none to dispute." These lines which are a clear testimony of the arrogance of the king and his self -proclaimed undisputable nature, however, at the end, his authority was shortlived.  Eccelesutes 2:4-11 talks about the same theme.

In which essay does Thoreau make more elaborate use of metaphor?
Klio2033 [76]

The essay by Henry David Thoreau in which he makes more elaborate use of metaphor is "Walden, or, Life in the Woods" (1854).

In this essay, Thoreau uses more elaborate metaphor to convey the ideas of nonindividuality and to show how the human mind is easily influenced as the Earth's soil is marked by the steps of others.

The way in which he describes and metaphorizes nature and human existance in the space of Walden Pond contributes to adapt complex and abstract ideas of humanistic guidance into understandable language.
