The poet intentionally uses language to create an impression in "Ozymandias." Why does he uses the words "antique", "ye," and "shattered"? A. to contrast modern statues with ancient statues B. to add to the dignity of the king's monuments C. to mock the king's belief that his power was great D. to create an impression of how long ago the king lived

Respuesta :

In using words such as antique, ye, and shattered, the poet is trying to invoke the sense of the past, since all of these words (except for shattered) are no longer used in modern English. So, I would assume he used these words to create an impression of how long ago the king lived, but I am not completely sure.
