Despite the fact that Belinda is pope's protagonist she's actually a bit of a slipoery character to come to terms with as the reader is provided with relatively little access to her inner thoughts and her actions are often governed by supernatural forces for instance it is unclear how much influence Ariel a sylph is able to there is some suggestions  that he actively toys with her morality . He claims it is her virginity which makes her worthy of guarding of a handsome young man , A youth more glittering than a birthright beau, tempting her sexuality similarly. At the end of the poem Umbriel  throws over her and . Thalestris a bag of sighs sobs and passions and also empties a vial of " sorrows" over her too meaning the rage she flies into is not entirely of her own volition .

Centered around the experience of a beautiful young woman Belinda who loses a lock of her hair to the scissors of an infatuated Baron The Rape of the Lock steadily becomes Sillier and Sillier  as it goes along and the characters descend into a kind of pretend battle over the lock. Coupled with the Clarissa s wise speech which argues that woman waste too much time focusing on their looks rather than thinking about how to be better people it might appear at first glance that people. Pope mocks Belinda s fixation on her own beauty by comparing her with an epic hero about to go into battle which makes her own process of beautifuling herself for a day at court appear relatively low- stakes and insignificant. In canto I Pope describes Belinda s completed "toilet"as awful Beauty having prepared its arms here Pope compares Belinda s having finished grooming herself at her dressing table to an awe- inspiring warrior putting on all of his Armor and weapon.

  Pope mentions Berenices lock referencing a poem by the Roman poet. Catullus itself inspired by the work of Greek poet . Caimachus in which a lock of hair is transformed into a constellation . The point he seems to be making is that in a way not all hair does grow gray.

His role in the family misfortune , caused by him spending money on the wrong things is downplayed . His relationship with his wife is much more loving in the movie however , the movie also makes the Bennets look poore than they were in the book . Elizabeth also comes across as much more bold and impatient in the movie she never yells at her parents in the book. I ve read the book twice both times for classes in high school and I like it . It's not my favorite book in the world but I did enjoy it and found it enjoy able to read I saw the movie after I had read the book and I liked the movie also. Weirdly enough  I just knew the movie would be different from the book. I was expecting it. I ve just noticed that whenever classics are adapted to the big screen they tend to be circumvented. There is less attention to detail . Sideplots and character development, I m not quite sure why that it I think it's mostly for the sake of time and to make the movie more relatable to a modern audience.
