The Rape of the Lock is a mock-heroic narrative poem written by Alexander Pope, first published anonymously in Lintot's Miscellaneous Poems and Translations in May 1712 in two cantos (334 lines), but then revised, expanded and reissued in an edition "Written by Mr. Pope" on 4 March 1714, a five-canto version (794 lines) accompanied by six engravings. Pope boasted that the poem sold more than three thousand copies in its first four days. The final form of the poem was available in 1717 with the addition of Clarissa's speech on good humour.
The poem satirises a minor incident by comparing it to the epic world of the gods. It was based on an actual incident recounted by Pope's friend, John Caryll. Arabella Fermor and her suitor, Lord Petre, were both from aristocratic recusant Catholic families, at a time in England when — under such laws as the Test Act — all denominations except Anglicanism suffered legal restrictions and penalties (for example, Petre could not take his place in the House of Lords as a Catholic). Petre, lusting after Arabella, had cut off a lock of her hair without permission, and the consequent argument had created a breach between the two families. Pope, also a Catholic, wrote the poem at the request of friends in an attempt to "comically merge the two." He utilised the character Belinda to represent Arabella and introduced an entire system of "sylphs," or guardian spirits of virgins, a parodised version of the gods and goddesses of conventional epic. Pope derived his sylphs from the 17th-century French Rosicrucian novel Comte de Gabalis. Pope, writing pseudonymously as Esdras Barnivelt, published A Key to the Lock in 1714, as a humorous warning against taking the poem too seriously.

In this video we start out with a general overview of the period, specifically that the Neo-Classical period valued reason and looked down on emotion, so “good” writing was about general concepts or “types” than about individuals and feelings. Therefore, instead of an epic, we are looking at a mock epic where the epic conventions are applied to trivial things to mock them. In canto I where Pope immediately begins checking off all the epic conventions: invocation of the muse, the offended woman, the prophetic dream, and the devotion at the temple. But they all take place in the context of a court beauty waking up and putting her makeup on. The dream consists of the main character's sylph guardian explaining how he makes women virtuous by causing them to flirt with a bunch of guys. Urgh!...
I've tried and tried to run and hide
To find a life that's new
But wherever I go I always know
I can't escape from you
A jug of wine to numb my mind
But what good does it do?
The jug runs dry and still I cry
I can't escape from you
These wasted years are souvenirs
Of love I thought was true
Your memory is chained to me
I can't escape from you
There is no end, I can't pretend
That dreams will soon come true
A slave too long to a heart of stone
I can't escape from you
