Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem Ozymandias is the basis for a trailer for the latest - and final - season of cult US TV drama Breaking Bad. Why, asks Ben Milne.

The minute-long trailer simply consists of a voice-over by Bryan Cranston (who plays the show's anti-hero, Walter White), reading Shelley's famous sonnet, set against shots of the stark, atmospheric landscape of the New Mexico desert, where Breaking Bad is set.

For those unaware of Ozymandias it tells the story of a "traveller from an antique land" who tells of a ruined statue of a dead ruler.

"Two vast and trunkless legs of stone/ Stand in the desert". The sculptor has caught the subject's "frown/ And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command".

On the pedestal is written: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works ye Mighty and despair."

But there's nothing left to look at, only the desert, the traveller reports. "The lone and level sands stretch far away."

The message, if one can call it that, is clear - the powerful fall, no matter how mighty they think they are. For fans of the show, a poem that symbolises hubris and egomania seems apposite.

Ozymandias was apparently inspired by the discovery in Luxor of a statue of the Egyptian pharaoh Ramesses II (known in Greek as Ozymandias). The fall of tyrants is a theme which was always close to Shelley's heart. Born in 1792, he was part of the radical, anti-establishment generation of writers who became known as the Romantics - his contemporaries and friends included Byron, Wordsworth and Keats.

Much of Shelley's work was overtly political, and Ozymandias had its roots in the struggle for democracy and nationalism raging across Europe at that time. But its semi-mythical title character could be as relevant to the Arab Spring as it was to the politics of 1817. What's more, the theme of pride before a fall, runs all the way through western culture from the Greek tragedy Oedipus Rex to the film Scarface.

But what it all means for Walter White, remains to be seen.

Quick Tip: Both had a way with women. But while one was an historical figure, the other was fictional

People To Impress: Would-be Romeos and Eng Lit students

While casanova was born in venice, and lived from 1725-98, don juan was created in 1630 by a spanish priest-playwright who wrote under the pseudonym tirso de molina. the prankster of seville and his stone guest was later adapted in various european languages.

Casanova: Once upon a time, back in the 18th century, lived a man who used his charms to seduce women. His looks and eclectic intellectual pursuits no doubt helped. Born to actor parents, he travelled widely across Europe. And while on his peregrinations, he claimed, he slept with 132 women! No wonder his acquaintances called him the Napoleon of Fornication. (Two centuries later a Welsh actor trumped the tally; between 1947 and 1975, it is reported that Richard Burton slept with 2,500 women.)

But Casanova was more than just a womaniser and gambler. He was a spy, soldier, alchemist and musician. His memoirs - History of My Life - show a ready wit and eye for social detail. Much can be read of Venetian society in particular, and European in general, from the original 12-volume autobiography.

Don Juan: For a character that was created in 1630, it is surprising that Don Juan has survived this long. Sure his main traits of a libertine and womaniser have made him the role model of generations of males. But is that reason enough for a fictional character to live this long in popular psyche? Don Juan is synonymous with serial lover. But on a subliminal level he is the archetype rebel.

In his search for pleasure he takes on the church (read religion), state and social morality. He breaks all rules. Sexual pleasure is a part of his search for total freedom. And that's the reason why he is so popular with artists - Mozart's opera Don Giovanni (by far the most popular in the Western canon), Lord Byron's epic poem "Don Juan", Moliere's comedy Don Juan or The Feast With the Statue to Pet Shop Boys' "Don Juan".

Modern day connections in Romeo & Juliet
Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet depicts the lives of two lovers and the events of their lives as they hide their love from their parents. The personalities, attitudes, and emotions of Romeo and Juliet mimic those of teenagers today.

Connection through Language
The first likeness is in the word choice they all use. In the play, Juliet chooses her words carefully while talking to Count Paris so that she doesn't commit herself to him or say that she doesn't want to be his wife. Even now, teens talk themselves out of a tuff situation by misleading whoever they are talking to. The word used to describe this is equivocal, meaning that there could be many interpretations of what is being
said.
Connections through actions
The second resemblance deals with the actions of Romeo and Juliet and teens today. All of their actions are quite impulsive. After Tybalt killed Mercutio, Romeo ran after him and made a hasty decision to fight to the death. Tybalt ended up being killed, and Romeo was banished. This impulsive action forced Romeo to have to leave his wife. Teenagers today also are very impulsive and do risky stunts without thinking them through. The consequences are normally bad as shown by Romeo and Juliet.

Connections through pride
The last similarity is that present day teens and Romeo and Juliet have a lot of pride. In the time of Romeo and Juliet, everything was about pride and honor. Whenever someone did something, it affected their pride and honor. That is the same in our time as well. Teenagers never back down from a challenge so that their pride, honor, and reputation are never hurt.
Differences: marriage
These differences have to do with the society in the present day, and during the times of Romeo and Juliet. The first difference is with marriages. In the time of Romeo and Juliet, marriages are arranged. The parents pick who they want their son or daughter to marry. In our time, marriages are not arranged. This gives people more freedom to choose the course of their lives.

Differences: dialect
The second difference is in the dialect of the people. In the time of Romeo and Juliet, people use many words to say only a little bit. The language in that time is more poetic than our time. This kind of talking is like an art to those people. In our time, people get right to the point when they talk. People's lives are so busy, that they don't have time to choose their words carefully. We even use slang, or abbreviating words to go even faster.

Differences: possesions
The last difference, between Romeo and Juliet and teenagers of today is in the possessions available to them. In the times of Romeo and Juliet, there was no electricity where as we have electricity and all of the gadgets that come with it. Romeo and Juliet had potions while we have drugs. They are basically the same thing, but potions add an element of fantasy. Lastly, while Juliet took her own life with a dagger, we have guns, which
are more advanced.

Let Me Not to the Marriage of True Minds
Sonnet CXVI
Analysis
Shakespeare's sonnet 116 was first published in 1609.

The poet begins by stating he should not stand in the way of true love. Love cannot be true if it changes for any reason. Love is supposed to be constant, through any difficulties. In the sixth line, a nautical reference is made, alluding that love is much like the north star to sailors. Love should also not fade with time; instead, true love lasts forever.
Figure of speech
O no! It is an ever-fixèd mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! It is an ever-fixèd mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
-William Shakespeare

The greatest English sonnet sequence
Shakespeare's sonnets, 154 sonnets in all, are by far the greatest of the English sonnet sequence.
They are obviously indebted to the Italian and classical tradition but they are also highly original.
It is probable that most of the sonnets were written between 1593 and 1599, possibly to the young Earl of Southampton, who was Shakespeare's friend and patron and who may have been the "fair youth"sung in so many poems.
Technically, Shakespeare's sonnets are made up of three quatrains closed by a final rhyming couplet (4+4+4+2).
The rhyme scheme is abab cdcd efef gg.
Figure of speech 2
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
The images that make up the sonnets are those of a century-old tradition: love is a beacon( ever-fixed mark), love is a leading star. Both images are well-known in medieval and renaissance poetry. Love is first defined as something unchanging and unmoveable among the tempests of the world. But in the following lines there is movement in time's deadly motion and in the passing of his " brief hours and weeks". The final couplet exemplifies Shakespeare's way of closing his sonnets epigrammatically: it is as impossible that his ideal of love is false as if he had never written anything, or "no man ever loved"

My Mistress' Eyes are Nothing Like the Sun
Summary
During this sonnet a man tells about how he doesn't favor the women. He explains how unattractive she is and even explains how heartless she is. Even though he talks negatively about her he says that he feels like his love is rare. He even leads you to infer that he will continue to have relations with the women and might even love her no matter how much he talks about her.

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

Tis cold and pitch black:
Daylight anticipates the dawn as the night grows older,
And winter's grasp hath all too long of time:
Sometime the eye of heaven lacks presences,
Often stars provide thee with light;
Work exerted shall not lose its value,
By God hardships are assigned to thee;
But thou endurance of winter shall not be ignored

Nor shall Death lead thee towards his light,
Thou shall not dwell within the verses through time:
So long as man breathes and night passes,
So long anticipation of dawn shall exist. Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

Modern Day Connections in Othello
By:Gerald Larry
Connection Through Dealing with Doubt
-Another main connection that is seen through both everyday life and the story of Othello would be the incapable ability to address the realities of insecurity and doubt.Othello himself couldn't even address his thought that Desdemona would prefer an Italian husband,which lead to him becoming jealous and later cause them to break up tragically.
Connection Through Jealousy
-Another modern connection expressed in the story of Othello is the modern connection of jealousy.Jealousy is a connection from Othello because almost every character experiences the feeling of jealousy.For example, Iago was jealous of Cassio because he was chosen by Othello as the new lieutenant. This situation can be connected to the modern day because many people still today experience jealousy when someone else is chosen over them or promoted to do a task.
Connection Through Revenge
-Another main connection expressed in the story is the will to get revenge on your enemies.Iago wanted revenge on Othello for giving the job Iago wanted to Cassio.Iago did this by lying on the relationship between Cassio and Desdemona;causing Othello to believe Desdemona was cheating on him.This situation relates to the modern day because many people still today get revenge on each other for the wrongs people have done to them.One main example of revenge in the modern day would be gang retaliation.
Connections through Relationships
-Modern day relationships show connections from the story of Othello because still even in modern times there are abusive relationships such as the relationship of Desdemona.In the past years there have been many abusive relationships like Desdemona's relationship.Another relationship connection in modern relationships and Othello would be the fact that interracial relationships are still seen sometimes as a abomination.Its safe to say that one main reason why Othello was treated as an outsider would be the fact that Othello was black and dated a white women.
Connections through Racism
-Racism is one connection from the story of Othello because still in today's society race plays a very important part on how people treat other people.An example of a racism in the story of Othello would be the fact that everybody didn't refer to Othello by his name;instead they referred to him as "The Moor".Some more evidence of racism in the story of Othello would be the part of the story where Iago informs Brabantio of Othello and Desdemona's relationship.Iago referred to Othello's relationship as "an old black ram is tupping your white eweâ".This statement is racist because Iago uses sexual imagery to highlight the fact that Othello is of a different race and color.
Connection through Manipulation
-There is a huge modern day connection through the use of manipulation in the story of Othello.In the story Iago used his skills to manipulate people so he could achieve the rank of his rival,Cassio.This is connected to modern day because people still today use manipulation,whether they know it or not,to achieve in life by lying.Its true everybody has told at least one white lie to get through a difficult situation.
Connection through Reputation
-In the story of Othello there is a modern day connection through reputation.Reputation is a factor in the story because Iago's reputation is that he is honest although no one knows that he is about to pull the biggest betray everybody.Reputation in the story is connected to modern day because people still use their reputation to fool everybody into believing they are honest, as what Iago did to everybody.
