Exploring the natural order established by God, this poem addresses humanity's place within the "great chain of being." It emphasizes acceptance of one's role, encapsulated in the idea that "Whatever is, is right." The work draws connections to Milton's themes and influenced optimistic thought across Europe, inspiring later writers like Voltaire. Pope aimed to create a foundational poetic ethical philosophy with this and his subsequent works, which garnered significant acclaim for their majestic didactic quality.
