Milton Paradise Lost Lock Of Hair
696 wordsIn this poem, Pope pokes fun at female vanity. Pope wrote Rape of the Lock expressly at the request of his friend, John Caryll, in an effort to make peace between real-life lovers. The incident of the lock of hair was factual; Pope's intention was to mix humor with the ill feelings aroused by the affair. He was, in fact, putting a minor incident into perspective, and to that end, chose a mock-heroic form, composing the poem as a parody of epic poetry, particularly the work of Milton (Paradise Lo...

Rape Of The Lock Gods And Goddesses
1,797 wordsAs the name indicates, the Mock-Epic is a literary form that burlesques the classical epics by using characteristics of the epic -- the invocation of a deity, a formal statement of theme, the division of the work into books and cantos, grandiose speeches, battles and supernatural machinery- to reveal the ridiculousness of a certain subject. The main effect of employing techniques of an epic is, however, not so much to have fun with the epic, but to deflate a subject or characters that by contras...

Loss Of Her Hair Belinda And The Baron Pope
807 wordsPope had translated the Iliad recently before writing the Rape of the Lock so it is no wonder that the poem contains many allusions to it and other epics. Pope used the heroic couplet fore mostly because of the awe in which he held the epics and secondly because it provides a superb field in which to satirist whilst maintaining levity. His mocking of the epic begin in the first two lines of the poem: What dire offence from across causes springs, What mighty contests rise from trivial things, Thi...

1,562 words... his mourning people. They place the ashes of Beowulf and all of the dragon's treasures inside a giant mound of sand where they would be safe from the enemies sure to attack after hearing of the tragedy.

As the name indicates, the mock epic is a literary form that burlesques the classical epics by using charac...

Lock Of Hair Rape Of The Lock
1,703 wordsAlex? s Analysis of Any Abject Abuse The destruction of the grand style of the epic is just what Pope was after in his mock epic, The Rape of the Lock. Pope had no such universal goal, or moral pronouncements to make as did Milton. His purpose was merely to expose the life of the nobility of his time. While Milton chose blank verse to express the immensity of the landscape of his epic, Pope chose to utilize the heroic couplet to trivialize this grandeur. Popes quick wit bounces the reader along ...

Rape Of The Lock Lock Of Hair
1,135 wordsAlexander Popes The Rape of the Lock engages the reader by telling the tale of a beauteous young woman who has been terribly wronged when an amorous suitor purloins a lock of hair. He begins his tale with an introduction, an apology of sorts, to one Arabella Fermor. Pope makes light of the fairer sex, and indeed poets themselves, as he states... for the ancient poets are in one respect like many modern ladies: let an action be never so trivial in itself, they always make it appear of the utmost ...
