The Rape of the Lock - Alexander Pope

Helo readers...

In this Blog I talk about beutiful and main character Belinda. This character is the protogonist of the novel 'The Rape of the Lock' by Alexander Pope.

Belinda:-

The protagonist of the poem, Belinda is a wealthy and beautiful young woman who travels to Hampton Court for a day of socializing and leisure. Her remarkable beauty attracts the attention of the 

Baron, who snips off a lock of her hair in his 

infatuation. Belinda represents the fashionable and aristocratic ladies of the time. She is a woman of superb beauty and charm. 

She suffers from all the vanities, laziness, follies and moral scruple of the aristocratic ladies of her time. She is treated as an object of mockery, ridicule, and even condemnation because of her shallowness, superficiality, and lack of any intellectual interest or moral elevation in her life. The lady sleeps till the hour of twelve in the day. Her dog licks her and she gets up every day from her all prophesied purity. Belinda is proud to be secretly in love with the Baron just after opening her eyes; first thought is about love letter which has been addressed to her. Next, she gets ready for her toilet and her day begins at noon. The toilet-table is like a church to her. She takes help of “cosmetic power” and her maid-servant Betty assists her in her sacred ceremony of the toilet. These show her superficial nature and lack moral awareness.

Belinda' s character in present time:- 

If Belinda present in today's time there is difficulty for her.Belinda, being an embodiment of comic spirit; it is found a special charm that a fair and fashionable woman brings society together with all her pride and vanity. There is no doubt in saying that the Pope has presented Belinda as a personality that is full of amazing experiences.He has presented her in such a manner that we become able only after studying her character that she is really a representative of her age. Pope depicts the fashionable trends, tastes and crazes of aristocratic women of her age through her character. In other simple words, we can say that she is a social butterfly who meets different persons and personalities through the medium of attending social functions, marriages and funerals.

 If Belinda present in today's time there her lifestyle not acceptable by social culture.

                If Belinda is present in today's time there her lifestyle not be acceptable by our society. She was very lazy girl. In present time if  woman became lazy that it is difficulty from us. And also she loves only to look beautiful and also want that other people admired her beauty. If we talk about  cutting down of Belinda's lock at that time it is normal thing . But in our time If without woman permission men can touch woman body it's became crime. And he aslo punished by society. That time it's thing happened but it take place as normal thing. But in our time it is creat very critical situation for us. Yes one thing are same in that Belinda and today's woman which that woman love that other people admired thier beauty. 

Conclusion:- 

                      In sum up we can say that Belinda's character very perfect way represent the Pope's age. And yes it is difficult if Pope's character Belinda live her lifestyle in our time.

Thank you...
