The Rape of the Lock by Alexander Pope is a mock-heroic narrative poem first published in 1712 and later revised in 1714.

Employing heroic couplets and elaborate language, Pope masterfully parodies classical epic poetry while simultaneously critiquing the frivolity of 18th-century aristocracy and social conventions. This witty and intricately crafted poem stands as one of Pope's most celebrated works and remains a cornerstone of English literature, admired for its satirical brilliance and cultural insight.
