Rape Of The Lock Gods And Goddesses
1,797 words
As 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...

Alexander Pope And His Part 2

... 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...

... 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. (Russom 15) The contemporary mock epic

by using charac...

Alex? 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

his epic, Pope chose to utilize the heroic couplet
to trivialize this grandeur. Popes quick wit
bounces the reader along ...

Papal Expansion and The Importance of Harmonious
Relations Between Church and State Ecclesiastical
reform was incredibly important in the European
Church in the late eleventh century and the early
twelfth century. Previous to Emperor Henry III s
reign there were extremely comfortable relations
between the Church and the state which kept many
kings, princes, and popes united, but actually
upset many reformers. Papal reformers of the
mid-eleventh century could primarily be
categorized in two separ...
