A stolen lock of hair. A dramatic duel. And the fate of a tea party hanging in the balance. Satire doesn't get much sharper-or sillier-than this.

Alexander Pope's The Rape of the Lock is one of the most brilliant mock-heroic poems in the English language, poking fun at 18th-century upper-class society with wit that still holds up today. But for many modern readers, the poem's structure, references, and older phrasing make it tough to appreciate the humor.
