Unveiling Beauty: Belinda's Quest for Youth in Alexander Pope's "The Rape of the Lock"

Author(s) PRASHAMI PANDEY

Abstract Alexander Pope's mock-epic The Rape of the Lock illuminates the complexity of youth, beauty, and society in early 18th-century England. This paper examines Pope's sympathetic portrayal of Belinda, who represents society's idealised youthful beauty and its anxieties about its loss, to demonstrate his poetic aim to critically analyse and understand the dangers of attachment to surface appearances resulting from society's obsession with youth and beauty.
