Something I found quite funny in the Rape Of The Lock is the Sylphs who protected Belinda from having sex. Sylphs did this by providing Belinda and the beautiful women with many suitors so they could never decide on just one. They were referred to as a " militia of fairies. When I think of that all I can see in my head is Tinkerbell and her little fairy friends with guns! Therefore it is kind of hard to take the situation seriously.
Also, I found it very comical that beautiful woman turn into fairies but prudes ( or ugly woman ) turn into gnomes !!
And the whole use of the word toilet .. It took me about 2 hours to figure out Pope wasn't actually talking about a real toilet, he was talking about a dressing table! Did anyone else get confused by that?
