In Ozymandias, fate is controlled by the three goddesses (Clotho, Lachesis, Atropos)  we know this because in the poem It says “Tell that its sculptor well those passions read which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things”, this tells us that Ozymandias is like one of the three goddesses (Clotho, Lachesis, Atropos) who preside over the birth and life of humans.

In Julius Caesar, when Cassius turned Brutus against Caesar, we all knew that Caesar was going to die when this happened and this will happen because in act 2 scene 2, Caesar is warned by Calphurnia that he must not go out or he is going to get killed Caesar knew this was going to happen and he knew that he couldn’t cheat death. This makes Calphurnia seem like a goddess of fate because she knew when Caesar was going to die before he did.

The structure of a sonnet:

The Shakespearean sonnet has 14 lines divided into three stanzas of four lines each and a final couplet.

The meaning of Volta:

In a sonnet the Volta is the turn of thought or argument. In petrarchan or Italian sonnets it occurs between the octave and the sestet and sometimes between the 8th and 9th or between the 12th and 13th lines of a Shakespearean sonnet or an English sonnet, before the final couplet.
