Eighteenth-Century Innovations 9 hours, 17 minutes agoLines 15-18 Clarissa in lines 15-18 is questioning beauty being the most important thing. She says “good sense” and “virtue” should also be something that matters. Her points really contradicts how everyone in […]

Eighteenth-Century Innovations 9 hours, 55 minutes agoLines 155-156 These lines help to continue Pope’s satire. He is overdramatizing Belinda’s reaction. Pope is comparing Belinda’s scream when she gets her hair cut off to how people would scream if their husband […]

Eighteenth-Century Innovations 1 day, 21 hours ago(Lines 114-116) What is unclear here is “Shock”. In the first line it says “… beware of man!”. In the next line it introduces (Shock). The next line talks about waking up his “mistress” with his tongue. It makes […]

Eighteenth-Century Innovations 1 day, 21 hours agoWhat isn’t clear to me in line 2 is why the author describe this small thing as the “mighty contest”. There is a love conflict, and the author is almost poking fun at the fact that there is this “big conflict” […]

Eighteenth-Century Innovations 1 week ago(This is for lines 28/29) From what I am getting from these 2 lines is how much attention Flavia used to get because of her beauty. In a way, Flavia’s beauty gave her a lot of power in society. Men that were all […]
