Mutability is a poem written in 1816 by Percy Bysshe Shelley. He was a poem writer from the Romantic period. The term mutability refers to changes, so, it is probable that Shelley wanted to express the idea that people do not have complete power over the changes or mutations that might occur in their lives. During the poem, the writer uses a variety of literary devices to express his ideas. He also employs a sombre tone.

Shelley wrote 'Mutability' at a particular moment in his life. He wrote it in 1816 when his first child Mary was born. That made it even more significant for him. During the same year he also experience two difficult moments, financial problems and the suicide of his wife. All these events influenced the poem.
