Subject Of Pope's Writing
1,751 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.

Epic Assists Pope
985 words"The triumph of the Baron's rape is in exactly the same high language as it would be if he were Hector". In The Rape of the Lock, Pope uses the mock-epic style to satirist the seriousness with which a trivial misdemeanour (the theft of a few strands of hair) and the ways of gender polarised society can be blown beyond all sense of proportion. Thus the male mentality, through the Baron, is portrayed as lacking depth or personality beyond that required to achieve its ends; men objectify and devise...
