... Why was the Rape of the Lock written? ...
The “Rape of The Lock” is a satire written by Alexander Pope in 1712. ... One of his satires was “The Rape of the Lock”.
The Rape of The Lock was written because Lord Petre, who was a minor
British Noble, cut off a lock of Arabella Femor’s hair. ... The continuous arguing about Arabella’s lock
caused a huge disagreement between the two families. ...
The characters in the “ Rape of The Lock” are Belinda, Ariel her
guardian sylph and the Baron. ... Crispissa was sent to guard her favorite lock. ... The Baron wanted Belinda’s beautiful lock and wished to
take it from her. ... The sylphs then swiftly flew to the lock and blew back the
hair and twitched the diamond in her ear three times . ...
The scissors soon did their work and separated the lock from behind Belinda’s head. ... Belinda cried “Restore the Lock” as if this was the most important
thing in life. ... The key to the lock is this:
Belinda actually represents Great Britain or Her Majesty the Queen. ...
The Baron who cut off the lock or Barrier Treaty, represented the Earl of Oxford. ... The one who helped push Belinda (England) to resent the loss of her lock
( treaty) was actually the Duchess of Marlborough. ... In the middle of all the poor, the diseased and the starving Belinda was crying out for her lock of hair to be restored.
