Reading Strategy: Recognizing Author's Purpose
 from The Rape of the Lock
 Alexander Pope
 Part # 1 
In The Rape of the Lock, Pope satirizes high society by focusing his wit and 
poetic talents on a petty incident that takes place among members of the 
"wigged and powdered" London upper-crust set. With elevated language and 
allusions to mythology, Pope deflates London society, exposing its silliness 
and shallowness. 
In the following passage, Pope appears to compliment the depth and 
grandeur of upper-class London society, but is really ridiculing such people 
by exposing their pettiness and the shallowness of their conversations. 
Hither the heroes and the nymphs resort, 
To taste awhile the pleasures of a court; 
In various talk th' instructive hours they passed, 
Who gave the ball, or paid the visit last; 
One speaks the glory of the British Queen, 
And one describes a charming Indian screen; 
A third interprets motions, looks, and eyes; 
At every word a reputation dies. 
Directions: Use the chart below to interpret the author's purpose in 
examples from The Rape of the Lock. The left column contains a quote from 
the poem. In the right column, interpret the meaning underlying the 
author's words. The first one has been done for you. 
Quotation    
Author's Purpose 
"To arms, to arms!" the 
fierce virago cries, / And 
swift as lightning to the 
combat flies. / All side in 
parties, 
and begin th' attack; / Fans 
clap, silks rustle, and tough 
whalebones crack. . . 
1. Pope mocks the 
high-society ladies 
and gentlemen 
whose "arms" are 
fans, silk dresses 
and suits, and the 
whalebone stays of 
corsets. 
Meanwhile, declining from 
the noon of day, / The sun 
obliquely shoots his burning 
ray; / The hungry judges 
soon the sentence sign, / 
And wretches hang that 
jurymen may dine; / The 
merchant from th' Exchange 
returns in peace, / And the 
long labors of the toilet 
cease. 
The skilful nymph reviews 
her force with care: / Let 
spades be trumps! she said, 
and trumps they were. 
The meeting points the 
sacred hair dissever / From 
the fair head, forever, and 
forever! 
When, after millions slain, 
yourself shall die; / When 
those fair suns shall set, as 
set they must, / And all 
those tresses shall be laid in 
dust, / This lock, the Muse 
shall consecrate to fame, 
/ And midst the stars 
inscribe Belinda's name.   
Part  # 2

 Reading Questions: 
Canto I:
 1. What spirit does Pope call upon to help him write his poem? To whom 
does he dedicate the poem? 
2. What two questions about "motives" does Pope want the Muse to answer? 
3. According to Pope, when women die, their spirits live on. What are the 
four possible forms these spirits will take? 
4. Of the four forms listed, what sort of personality leads to each possible 
form? For instance, what sort of woman becomes a gnome, or a sylph, or 
whatnot? 
5. What everyday feminine ritual is Pope connecting with the ancient Greco
Roman sacrifices? 
Canto II: 
6. What trait does the Nymph (Arabella) possess that invites "the 
destruction of mankind"? 
7. What does the "Adventurous Baron" long to possess? 
8. What does the Baron burn as a sacrificial offering to Love?

9. What two topics serve as the focus of conversation for "Britain's 
statesmen?" 
10. Who is great Anna and what are the three realms she rules? 
11. What does Clarissa draw forth and present to the Baron? 
12. What action do a thousand sprites take (using their wings) to prevent 
the hair from getting cut? 
13. What happens to one unfortunate Sylph as he attempts to block the 
shears from cutting the hair? 
Canto IV: 
14. Megrim, Ill-Nature, and Affectation all come to visit Belinda, and Ariel 
leaves to be replaced by Umbriel. What does all this suggest about Belinda's 
mood? 
15. How does Thalestris' advice affect Belinda? 
16. Describe Sir Plume's "eloquence" as he attempts to argue that the Baron 
should return the lock of hair. How is Sir Plume characterized? Why did Pope 
give this character the name "Sir Plume"? 
17. What is the response of "the Peer" [the Baron] to Sir Plume's request? 
18. What is Belinda talking about when she wishes that the Baron had "been 
content to seize/ Hairs less in sight, or any hairs but these!"? 
Canto V:
 19. What is Clarissa's point about the chopped hair in Canto V? How does 
she serve as a foil to Thalestris? 
20. How does the crowd of fops and ladies react to Clarissa's sensible 
advice? 
21. How do Dapperwit and Sir Fopling meet their deaths? 
22. What is the outcome when Jove takes his golden scales to weigh the hair 
versus the wits of the crowd? 
23. Just after the crowd roars out for the Baron to "restore the lock," a 
mishap occurs during all the commotion. What happens when they look for 
the lock? 
24. Pope gives us an unusual catalog of items including broken vows, death
bed alms, courtier's promises, sick men's prayers, harlots' smiles, the tears 
of heirs, cages for gnats, and so on. What do all these have in common with 
each other and with the cut lock of hair? 
25. Pope leaves Belinda (and hence Arabella) with what comforting thought 
at the end of the poem?

Book Review Format

A book report describes a book, telling what it is about.  A book review includes this but adds an element of persuasion.  It goes into the style of writing or the particular literary elements a writer uses to set this book apart from others.  It should persuade the reader of the review to share your opinion.  It is a  little like the 5 Gold Star ratings we see for products.   Both offer a combination of summary and commentary.  The review is a way to think more deeply about a book you've read and to demonstrate your understanding.

Your review should be written in narrative paragraphs, not as a list of answered questions.  There are four (4) parts to a book review:

Introduction:  This section provides basic information about the book and a sense of what your report will be about. The Introduction includes:

I.  Title (underlined)/Author

2.  Publication Information: Publisher, year, number of pages

3.  Genre

4.  A brief (1-2 sentences) introduction to the book and the review

Body:  There are two main sections for this part. The first is an explanation of what the book is about. The second is your opinion(s) about the book and how successful it is. There are some differences between reports on fiction or other imaginative writing and reports on non-fiction books. But for both, a good place to start is to explain the author's purpose and/or the main themes of the book. Then you can summarize.

Summary:  In this section, you describe what the story is about.  One or two good paragraphs (5-7 sentences each) should be enough.

For fiction or other creative writing:

Provide brief descriptions of the setting, the point of view (who tells the story), the protagonist, and other major characters. If there is a distinct mood or tone, discuss that as well.

Give a concise plot summary. It should include the basic parts of the plot:  situation, conflict, development, climax, and resolution.  Along with the sequence of major events, you may want to discuss the book's climax and resolution, and/or literary devices such as foreshadowing. But, if you are writing a review, be careful not to give away important plot details or the ending.

For non-fiction: Non-fiction will not have a plot summary, but you will need to summarize what the book is about.

Provide a general overview of the author's topic, main points, and argument. What is the thesis? What are the important conclusions?

Don't try to summarize each chapter or every angle. Choose the ones that are most significant and interesting to you.

Analysis and Evaluation:

In this section you analyze the book and explain the particular style of writing, or literary elements used, such as foreshadowing, cliff-hanging, flashbacks, etc. You may express your opinions, but they must be supported with examples from the book.  Non-fiction may relate to the author’s qualifications to write on the subject, or the way the material is presented, such as step by step, or including photos, or even the format, such as introducing each section with the vocabulary of terms.

Here are some questions you can ask yourself, to guide your analysis.

• Did the author achieve his or her purpose? How so? Provide examples.
• Is the writing effective, powerful, difficult, or beautiful? How so? Provide examples.
• What are the strengths and weaknesses of the book? Be specific.
• For non-fiction work, what are the author's qualifications to write about the subject? Do you agree with the author's arguments and conclusions?
• What is your overall response to the book? Did you find it interesting, moving, or dull?
• Would you recommend it to others? Why or why not?

Conclusion:  Briefly conclude by pulling your thoughts together. You may want to discuss what impression the book had on you, or emphasize what you want your reader to know about it. Would you recommend it to others?  If so, whom?  Would you want to read more works by this author?  In other words, do not just say “I liked, or didn’t like the book.”  Be very specific by explaining its effect on you.
