1The soldiers are useless and sent to war, enjambment shows how the blood of the soldiers will keep going on like the enjambment itself. The symbolism of the palace walls is the monarchy is resposible because the blood is on their hands and walls.
And the hapless soldiers sigh (INDENT DOWN A LINE) Runs in blood down palace walls.
2Juxtaposition: He can hear everyones manacles, hears everyone in london is controlled. Is he hearing his own manacles or theirs? He thinks he's free and thinks everyone lese is controlled but thats what everyone thinks. Everyone thinks this. If you're being controlled you won't see the shackles yourself.
The mind forged manacles i hear.
3repetition: no one is safe, everyone in London looks as thought they are weak. If someone is weak, someone is powerful. Everyone is struggling.
And the mark in every face i meet (INDENT DOWN A LINE) Marks of weakness, marks of woe.
4Volta: (shift in the poem goes from him being strong to nothing but remains) Can turn in an instant due to nature
Nothing but remains
5Adjective: " shattered" gives the impression he cant be fixed, beyond repairable. Nature has done this, his empire became sand, dust, nothing by time. This peom shows natures, god is in control as we all are being controlled by time
A shattered visage lies
6Hyperbole: too over the top for someone who dies so quickly, Juxtaposition: he is saying he is the king of kings but soon after ozymandias is dead, left in remains

7Personification: the wind/ gust is mad. can link to anger. Nature isnt happy with what people are about to do.
the mad gusts tugging on the wire
8similie: the way the wind and nature is blowing is tearing the people apart, destroying everything. The battle hasnt started yet but everythings getting destroyed.
like twitching agonies of men among its brambles
9Sibilance: mimics movement of nature, mimics kniving too, wind is stabbing them, destroyed by nature, you cant defeat nature, you cant beat something you cant see.
our brains ache, in the merciless iced east (INDENT DOWN A LINE) winds that knive us
10Hyperbole: the viciousness of the bullets and soldiers are comparible to hunting an animal, they were the hunters
I see every round as it rips through his life-
11Inner conflict, in the beggining he had bloody hands but didnt care. Now he cant wash this crime away, his mind cant get over it. inner conflict. Repetition: emphasises how the killing is still fresh in his mind, cyclical structure
near to the knuckle, here and now, (INDENT DOWN A LINE) his bloody life in my bloody hands.
12Juxtaposition: goes against human nature of peace
