Alexander Pope’s *The Rape of the Lock* is a quintessential example of a mock epic, a form of satirical poetry that parodies the classical epic by employing its grandeur and stylistic elements to describe trivial or petty subjects. In this poem, Pope utilizes the high seriousness and elevated style of the epic genre to present a seemingly insignificant event—the cutting of a lock of hair from a young woman—as though it were a monumental heroic deed.
