Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set against a backdrop of English aristocracy, this poem explores the absurdity of social norms through the lens of a trivial yet grave offense: the theft of a lock of hair. By elevating this minor incident to cosmic significance, it satirizes the values and behaviors of the upper class, highlighting the clash between the mundane and the divine. Pope's work cleverly critiques societal priorities while weaving together themes of honor, vanity, and the consequences of human folly.
