In his poem "The Rap e of the Lock" Alexander Pope twists the conventions of the epic poem to create a satirical tone.

In this poem, a trivial situation like the stealing of a girl's strand of hair makes Pope mix both worlds, the satirical and the heroic. A form or style from a Greek or Roman epic is used, but it's transformed into more of a mock rather than a serious epic.

Moreover, Pope uses satire in order to exaggerate and ridicule, exposing the truth about society.

We can find an example to this mockery in Canto 5 from the poem:

"...Belinda frown'd, Thalestris call'd her prude.

"To arms, to arms!" the fierce virago cries,

And swift as lightning to the combat flies.

All side in parties, and begin th' attack;

Fans clap, silks rustle, and tough whalebones crack;

Heroes' and heroines' shouts confus'dly rise,

And bass, and treble voices strike the skies.

No common weapons in their hands are found,

Like gods they fight, nor dread a mortal wound..."

I believe Pope twisted the conventions of the epic poem in order to create a satirical tone in his The R.ape of the Lock.
It was created as a mock poem, written in order to ridicule heroic epic poems of the Classical and Post-Classical eras. Pope used the heroic couplets throughout the poem in order to give it an elevated style; however, if you read the poem, you will see that the theme is quite mundane - the poem talks about how somebody stole a strand of a girl's hair.

Anybody knows the answer?.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Answer

A refutation is a kind of counter argument. You are opposing an answer by denying it  and offering evidence to show it is not    true.

Concessions is not quite the same thing. You are letting go of part of an argument so that you can hold on to the better part that could win.

1. Why are contemporary artists chosen to imitate?
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Copying another artist's work can be a wonderful way to learn, get inspired, get ideas, honor an influence you love, and create something new. All art is a mash up of ideas, and we can all influence and inspire each other, so long as we are creating and sharing from a place of honesty and transparency.

A good artist simply copies another person's art. A great artist selectively takes (steals) elements from multiple sources and then creatively combines their influences to create something that is uniquely their own.
