“The Rape of the Lock” character analysis. Choose one character from The Rape of the Lock, and write an analysis of that character. What purpose does this character have in the story? What is Pope satirizing through this character? Look carefully at the details of the text: how the character is described, what the character says, how others react to the character, etc. How do those details contribute to Pope’s satire and the themes of the poem?
