The New Colossus, or the Statue of Liberty, is a strong and welcoming woman. ... The Colossus of Rhodes was intended to intimidate people who saw the statue on the Greek shore, whereas the Statue of Liberty stood as a promise of love and protection.

The Colossus of Rhodes was built to scare anyone who saw it on the Greek beach, but the Statue of Liberty was built to pledge love and protection to those who saw it.

By picturing the statue as:

  • Embracing immigrants rather than resisting invaders
  • A symbol of inclusiveness

The disparities between the Statue of Liberty and the ancient Greek Colossus of Rhodes create the broader meaning of the poem.

"The New Colossus" compares the Statue of Liberty to the Colossus of Rhodes, an ancient Greek statue.

The new statue's name, torch, and location on the eastern shore of the United States all signify her status as a guardian of exiles, whereas the previous statue functioned as a warning to future adversaries.
