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.
