Alexander Pope uses this to his benefit when he depicts the crime in The Rape of the Lock. By alluding to Milton’s work‚ Pope is able to comically refer to the cutting of a lock of hair as a tragic and epic event. In doing this‚ he paradoxically assumes that the crime is not one of personal fault‚ but one fated to happen by God‚ just as in Paradise Lost. “What dire offence from amorous causes springs‚ / What mighty contests rise from trivial things‚” (Pope‚ ll. 1-2).

Though Pope Urban II promised a heaven for the Franks and expanded Christianity‚ I believe that his message was frightening rather than inspiring. I have come to this conclusion because in an ideal mind‚ a pope‚ a man of the church is thought to be pure and pious. However‚ Pope Urban II is in fact acting as a political leader‚ scheming and plotting against the Turks‚ under the façade of a pope. In his appeal to the Franks‚ Pope Urban II begins his speech in an ominous and foreboding tone. This

Rape of the LOcke Rape of the lock : At the beginning of "The Rape of the Lock‚" Pope identifies the work as a “heroi-comical poem.” Today‚ the poem—and others like it—is referred to as a mock-epic and sometimes as a mock-heroic. Such a work parodies the serious‚ elevated style of the classical epic poem—such as The Iliad or The Odyssey‚ by Homer—to poke fun at human follies. Thus‚ a mock-epic is a type of satire; it treats petty humans or insignificant occurrences as if they were extraordinary
