The power she had as a queen has gone. Ozymandias is a sonnet, although it doesn't have the same, simple rhyme scheme or punctuation that most sonnets have. Some lines are split by full stops and the rhyme is irregular at times. Shelley creates a memorable image of this "vast" and once great statue, now in ruins. He also places it in the middle of a huge desert with nothing else around it, which highlights its fall from grace.
True masculinity is a conceptual fallacy. Macbeth’s hamartia is his indulgence in the concept of masculinity. Lady Macbeth, the main female protagonist demasculinizes Macbeth throughout the play for his lack of assertiveness. Manipulatively, she states to Macbeth, “What beast was’t then, /That made you break this enterprise to me? / When you durst do it, then you were a man” (1.7.47-49).. She defines manhood as stark aggression to achieve power in any means necessary such as killing Duncan.
“Macbeth’s fall from power was inevitable” Discuss. Macbeth, written by William Shakespeare, is sad tale of Macbeth, a righteous man, corrupted by power and greed. “With great power comes great responsibility”, a quote that has been repeated over the ages and said to every person who is in power.

Shakespeare presents Antony as a highly complex character with two sides to his personality: a man hopelessly in love with the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra, and a great military leader of the Roman Empire. However, these two contradictory personalities cannot exist harmoniously with one another, as Antony becomes more entangled with Egypt and Cleopatra his leadership status suffers. Thus, from a militaristic Roman perspective, Shakespeare portrays a decline in Antony from his high leadership status. To represent the decline of Antony, Shakespeare first presents to the audience his high status so that they may fully understand his decline. At many points during Act III Antony’s qualities of a great leader are dramatically demonstrated to the audience through framing- not through Antony’s dialogue or his actions, but through the way he is presented through how others speak of him.
