In the video “A Strange Relativity: Altered Time for Surgeon-Turned-Patient,” Paul Kalanithi explains that “clocks are now kind of irrelevant to me.” Do you think the speaker of “Ozymandias” would agree with this opinion about time? Use evidence from the poem to support your response.

Answer:They wouldn't, in my opinion. Time appeared different to them. Ozymandias believed that his reign and power over all the people would last forever, whereas the doctor realized how little time he had left and treasured every second of it.

the poem states that time is limited and doesnt last for ever, like how in the video the guy has a limited time and died a year after the birth of his daughter and she wasnt old enough to form memories of her father before he passed away. Time is limited so make the best out of what you got like the guy in the video.
