Pope believed that this minor insult was taken too seriously and the ensuing troubles were unnecessary.

The word rape is used to mean steal or snatch due to its Latin roots but here, Pope purposely makes use of it to hyperbolize the terribleness of the act. This seemingly insignificant incident is thus described by Pope as a “dire offense” in the first line of the poem and he devotes around 600 lines to the conflicts that ensue afterwards. The poem is divided into five cantos which is a section of a long narrative poem.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
