This celebrated example of high burlesque transforms a trivial social incident—a nobleman secretly snipping a lock of a young lady's hair—into an elaborate epic parody complete with supernatural guardians and classical conventions. Pope treats the ensuing family feud with wit and elegance, elevating drawing-room drama to mythological proportions while gently satirizing the vanities and sensibilities of eighteenth-century aristocratic society.
