"'The Rape of the Lock' is an excellent example of pre-Romantic, neoclassical poetry because, in essence, it is an epic poem about a woman losing a lock of her hair. (To lose one lock of hair can be considered misfortune, but to lose a whole head seems like utter carelessness. Okay, couldn't resist. Honestly. Reference to The Importance of Being Ernest.)"
