2. Explain the two meanings of the word ‘mocked’.
3. Whose heart is being referred to in the line? What had it fed?

Answer 1

Answer:

Mark me as brantiest answer

Explanation:

The meaning of the word 'mock' here means imitate, in other words, 'model'. That is the hand of the sculptor that moulded the facial expression. 'The heart that fed them' is the heart of the Ozymandias because his is the heart that brought the unpleasant expression to his face. It cannot be the heart of the sculptor.
