La Boucle de Cheveux Enlevée (translated as The Rape of the Lock) by Alexander Pope is a satirical narrative poem first published in 1712. The poem humorously critiques the superficiality and vanity of the British aristocracy. It centers on a trivial incident in high society, where a young man, Baron, cuts a lock of hair from the beautiful Belinda without her consent, leading to an uproar among her friends and family.
Pope uses this seemingly insignificant event to explore themes of honor, reputation, and social norms, exaggerating the characters' reactions to highlight their absurdity. The poem is written in heroic couplets, using wit and irony to mock the excessive importance placed on appearances and trivial matters. Through his use of mock-epic style, Pope elevates a minor social scandal to the level of classical epic, reflecting on the ridiculousness of human pride and the pursuit of superficial ideals.
