Shelly’s Didacticism.
Shelly’s Didacticism. There is a strong didactic tendency in Shelley. He often wishes to impress a moral upon us but his method of giving us a moral is different from that of the neo classical poets like Pope. He does not give us a moral directly that would be unromantic. He merely paints a picture and leaves us to draw the moral ourselves. In Ozymandias, for instance, Shelley does not directly tell this that human greatness and splendour are passing. He drives the moral home to us by a picture of the broken statue of a mighty king.
