Title A name given to the resource The Rape of the Lock Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alexander Pope Description An account of the resource The Rape of the Lock' is a satirical narrative poem about a petty squabble between two aristocratic families. A young man cut off a lock of hair from a young woman without her consent, which caused quite a scandal in high society. Pope, who personally knew both families involved, wrote the poem to diffuse the tension. By doing so, Pope turned the incident into a mock epic tale that includes mythical beings, dramatic speeches, and epic battles. This is one page of a book pulled from Google Books. It is stark white with black text printed on it. The title at the top of the page says “Canto I,” which means the first part of Pope’s longer poem.
