The Rape of the Lock Alexander Pope's mock heroic epic The Rape of the Lock appears to be a light subject addressed with a satiric tone and structure. Pope often regards the unwanted cutting of a woman's hair as a trivial thing, but the fashionable world takes it seriously. Upon closer examination Pope has, perhaps unwittingly, broached issues worthy of earnest consideration. The Rape of the Lock at first glance is a commentary on human vanity and the ritual of courtship. The poem also discusses

Pope Admiring Belinda in The Rape of the Lock The main character of Pope's "The Rape of the Lock" could be considered both hailed and damned by the overseer, but the complexities and sometimes contradictions of Belinda spark a more unbiased view. The appearance of Belinda and the world in which she lives is described in a very fantastical and beautiful way. Even small details such as the arrangement of Belinda's hair are due to wondrous entities known as the Sylphs, whose sole task is

The Scale of Values in Alexander Pope's Poem The Rape of the Lock I found Alexander Pope's "The Rape of the Lock" a delightful, amusing poem. Throughout the poem, trivialities are compared with events and objects or consequence and the insignificant is treated with utmost importance. Its very title gives the reader an immediate clue; "rape" and all its connotations bring to mind a heinous crime of physical and spiritual violation. Perhaps this description could apply to the theft of a lock of

A Lock of Hair and a Wounded Heart Throughout the course of history and its literature, authors and poets have served as messengers for the times in which they lived, whether it be about political upheaval or social constructs or the lives of the common man. One way this was accomplished was through satire. Alexander Pope, whom of which lived in the literary Restoration period and wrote the poem, “The Rape of the Lock,” in 1714, provides a work as an excellent example of satire. He parodies the

announcement about human imprudence, a lesson on female vanity, and a clever perspective of the customs of romance. Poem also satirise the moral bankruptcy of the ladies of the time. “Ariel wonders Belinda will break Diana’s law or some china jar shall receive a flaw; whether she shall stain the honour or new brocade; whether she shall forget her prayers or miss a dance party; whether she shall loose her heart or her necklace”. These lines show how easily and irreparably chastity might be lost

In the year 1469 a man named Guru Nanak was born into a Punjabi-Hindu family. His name means "He who was born at the home of his mother's parents", which was in Talwandi, near Labone ("Sikhs" 647). We know little about Nanak's life but a lot about his beliefs from a book called " Adi Granth" or " Granth Sahib", which means holy book. Some of his beliefs were the reality of "karma" and "reincarnation".These are beliefs that our actions

The Khasi man travels with a man of the plains. The description of the travel companion clues the listener/ reader into the fact that he is a Brahmin. The marker of this fact, the Sikha (tuft of hair) is an important part of the narrative. The Brahmin is accustomed to the terrain of the journey, unlike the Khasi man, who is used to the hills. Nevertheless, they reach God's abode, succeed in gaining retribution and are each given a

INTRODUCTION We record our homage and deep admiration for the Womanhood of India who in the hour of peril for the motherland forsook the shelter of their homes and with unfailing courage and endurance stood shoulder to shoulder with their menfolk, in the frontline of India’s national army to share with them the sacrifices and triumphs of the struggle”. From a Resolution passed on January 26, 1931. When the history of India's fight for Independence comes to be written, the sacrifice made by the
