Literary Analysis of "The Rape of the Lock"

A writer and his time: Alexander Pope was born in London in 1688. Because he is a Roman Catholic, he lives in a society dominated by Protestantism, and he is largely excluded from the university system, so most of them are self taught. At the age of 12, he was infected with tuberculosis. This disease stunned him and transformed him. Therefore, he had many emotional trauma and social unrest. His only interactive tool is his wonderful wisdom and author's talent. He quickly built many friendships in London in the famous literary world, where he found his happiness.

In this article, what would it be if they saw Alexander Pope's Rock of Rape and Robert Burns's Tam O'Shanter and have real morality? How do they compare each other? The appearance rape seems to depict the ritual of human vanity and courtship. Female hair is not necessarily cut, but fashion / high society thinks that it is serious. Read more and more, this poem depicts a way to pay more attention to male-female relationship, social position, physical beauty, physical value rather than moral value in particular.

According to actual events, the Lock of the Lock tells the story that a young lady was stolen by a group of enthusiastic young, written down to reconcile a marginalized family. The pope expresses trivial events among the events normally used for great moments like an argument between Greek and Trojans.

Pope Alexander's epic "gun of rape" is essentially a sarcastic of traditional epic literature. It is filled with the main character Belinda's behavior, Homer's Achilles, Virgil's Eneid and Greek myth. Unlike Homer's role of Iliad's Achilles, her character's image is portrayed as unrelated to vanity, but he is full of anger and pride as well as Belinda's character. But this is where most of the corresponding attributes end; both scales as magnificent performance are far from similar.
