The Forgotten Legacy Of The ' Power Of Possession '

examines the power relationship and hierarchy between humans and gods, depicting and later asserting the control that gods have over the fates of humans.

Compare how poets present powerful rulers in Ozymandias and in one other poem (My Last Duchess) Both initially poems follow a strict structure, which presents the idea of power and control immediately.
