The Rape of the Lock

Alexander Pope

A satiric poem about Belinda and the evil Baron who wants to steal a lock of her hair, it is a commentary on the battle of the sexes and the contemporary social world of high society.

Once you have searched every tiny word meaning you laugh that kind of laugh that goes through your nose

I know the whole point is to make fun of what an unimportant drama it all was but I got distracted by the symbolism of "man thinks he has a right to a woman's body and when she rightfully calls him out on it, he and his friend make fun of her for having a meltdown over a little good fun."
So once the thought sat in my head, it kind of robbed me of the hilarity of the situation. I know it's just the lock of hair but still...

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY SOPHIE GEE A hideous crime is committed at a fashionable London society gathering. The victim is the beautiful, innocent Belinda, her attacker is the dastardly Baron, and his weapon of choice is a pair of scissors... Pope's mock-epic is the sharp and witty tale of the most famous bad hair day in the history of literature.
