The main idea of the poem The R-A- P- E- of the lock is the satire towards the vanities of society, which reflects the vile and petty of man from the complex of faith. The main idea is to show how culture has declined and how man has become unworthy. Alexander Pope, who is the writer of the poem, presents a series of transformations in the quality of morality and presents in a burlesque way the traditions of the classic epic by using conversations in the form of parodies of the gods to which he caricatures. It is a more comic air than the pope in his narrative poem dwarfs the gods. It makes them fragile and vulnerable, since, as is known, for the people, the ancient gods described themselves as particularly powerful characters, with exceptional abilities that only they could have. He discounts them practically to a kind of caricature to give his poem a sarcastic and funny tone.The structure of the poem is well adapted, since the poem is basically based on verses, where it materializes the contrasts and comparisons between the gods of Greek mythology. It is presented in a satirical manner, which makes it particularly charming and easy to read for those who appreciate epic poems. The poem maintains the structure of the poems in the verses, but it has a remarkable change in the way of expressing because it' very funny.
