Alliteration: and sneer of cold command, colossal wreck, boundless and bare, lone and level sands stretch far away.
Alliteration: Alliteration is the use of the same letter or sound at the beginning of words that are close together, as ‘She sang a song of sixpence.’
Synecdoche: The hand that mocked them, the heart that fed.
Synecdoche is a word or phrase in which a part of something is used to represent a whole, or a whole is used to represent a part of something. For example , in ‘Australia lost by two goals’, Australia is used to represent the Australian team. In the expression ‘the hand that mocked them’, the hand represents the hand of the sculptor who made Ozymandias’s sculpture. Similarly in the expression ‘the heart that fed’ hear represents the heart of Ozymandias’s heart.
