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...

Mentally Handicapped White Man
1,101 wordsThe jokes at the expense of minorities. The handicapped, mentally slow, and any minority have long been the punch line in jokes. This is wrong in all respects. It desecrates the value of a human life and demoralizes the people engaged in the joke. Many variables can account for these degrading jokes which may include fear of change, fear of learning, fear of tolerance, and a fear of accepting responsibility. I have watched from several perspectives the way a joke is presented. Being a Indigenous...

Goneril And Regan Cordelia And Kent

Juxtaposition In Rhyming Couplets Juxtaposition In Rhyming Pope
563 wordsPope skillfully uses the mock epic genre to satirize the triviality of his society through exaggeration, parody, and juxtaposition in rhyming couplets. The epic form inherently makes subject matter larger than life and Pope cleverly uses this characteristic to reveal the absurdity of the society he lives in. In his epic, he mocks misplaced importance by placing an event as inconsequential as the snipping off of some hair at the root of his action. In Canto III, Pope turns a simple card game into...

Alexander Pope And His Part 2
2,407 words... the petty (the single hair) and the grand (Mans Imperial Race) makes the reader realize that the former is very real but the second premise is debatable. The poems form clearly categorizes it as a mock-epic which closely resembles the classical epic, having the same central concerns, but the approach is satirical and humorous rather than earnest. It is without a doubt an indication of how lightly the treatment is yet the same light treatment makes the impact is more pronounced, valid and com...

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 ...
