Answer:

lengthy tale

important hero

presence of supernatural elements or forces

Explanation:

The R-ape of the Lock is a long narrative poem written by Alexander Pope. The poem belongs to the genre of mock-heroin which became popular during the 18th century in Europe. In this poem, Pope mocks epic poetry by appropriating its grandeur and elaborate descriptions and using them to describe a small, common event: the stealing of a lock of hair. Among the elements that Pope uses are a lengthy tale, the presence of an important hero and the presence of supernatural forces.

How does jim o'connor feel about his own future in the glass menagerie
ira [324]
In the character descriptions preceding the play, Jim is described as a "nice, ordinary, young man." He is the emissary from the world of normality. Yet this ordinary and simple person, seemingly out of place with the other characters, plays an important role in the climax of the play.

The audience is forewarned of Jim's character even before he makes his first appearance. Tom tells Amanda that the long-awaited gentleman caller is soon to come. Tom refers to Jim as a plain person, someone over whom there is no need to make a fuss. He earns only slightly more than does Tom and can in no way be compared to the magnificent gentlemen callers that Amanda used to have.

Jim's plainness is seen in his every action. He is interested in sports and does not understand Tom's more illusory ambitions to escape from the warehouse. His conversation shows him to be quite ordinary and plain. Thus, while Jim is the long-awaited gentleman caller, he is not a prize except in Laura's mind.

The ordinary aspect of Jim's character seems to come to life in his conversation with Laura. But it is contact with the ordinary that Laura needs. Thus it is not surprising that the ordinary seems to Laura to be the essence of magnificence. And since Laura had known Jim in high school when he was the all-American boy, she could never bring herself to look on him now in any way other than exceptional. He is the one boy that she has had a crush on. He is her ideal.
