Ozymandias
Breaking BadBreaking Bad is an incredibly popular show that shares many parallels with Ozymandias. The creators of the show even named an episode after the poem and created a chilling and dramatic video of Bryan Cranston -- the show's star -- reciting it. Like the poem, the show depicts the rise and fall of a great empire and its creator, focusing on his greed and hubris. This connection can be used a reference point for students, while the video above can be used as an audio-tape of the poem.
