How does “The Rape of The Lock” reflect the society of that time?
The Rape of The Lock Explanation: When Husbands, or when Lap- dogs breathe their last, Or when rich China Vessels, fal’n from high, In glitt’ring Dust and painted Fragments lie!  Let wreaths or Triumph now my Temples twine,
But since, alas! Frail Beauty must decay, Curl’d or uncurl’d, since locks will turn to grey
Or some frail China jar receive a Flaw, Or stain her honour, or her new Brocade.
Beauties in vain their pretty eyes may roll; Charms strike the Sight, but Merit wins the soul
