Conjugal Love Conjugal Love Refers To Love in A Conjugal Relationship, That Is, in A Marriage, Since The Word
Conjugal love refers to love in a conjugal relationship, that is, in a marriage, since the word
"conjugal" is defined as related to the relationship between married partners.[1]
Marriage does not necessarily involve love between the partners. Christian views on
marriage involve love as being central to the marriage relationship, just as Christianity views
love as central to human life and human relationship to God (as illustration, the statement from
the New Testament that "...God is love."[2])
Metaphysical poetry
Meta” means “beyond” and “physics” means “physical nature”. Metaphysical poetry means poetry that
goes beyond the physical world of the senses and explores the spiritual world. Metaphysical poetry
began early in the Jacobean age in the last stage of the age of Shakespeare.
John Donne was the leader and founder of the metaphysical school of poetry. Dryden used this word at
first and said that Donne “affects the metaphysics”.

Mock-epic
Mock-epic, also called mock-heroic, form of satire that adapts the elevated heroic style of the

character of the modern age by subjecting thinly disguised contemporary events to a heroic treatment.

Satire
diff between ideal and real
One example of irony in this poem is Belinda's guard Ariel. On page 495 Ariel says, "Of these am I, who thy
protection claim,/ A watchful sprite, and Ariel is my name." After introducing himself as her guard who will protect
her, he proceeds to tell her about a terrible event that may happen to her. Belinda just seems to brush it off and
not paying any attention to these details. I think this example of irony helps support the message that people will
do whatever they want to do, even if someone tells them its a bad idea, or something bad is going to happen. The
people still do what they want because they don't believe anything is going to happen to them and that they will
be okay. Another example of irony Clarissa's role in the scissors. I find it ironic that Clarissa gives Baron the scissors
to chop off a lock of Belinda's hair and then gives a speech at the end about morals. Even though, the way Belinda
reacted only supported Clarissa's speech about people caring too much about appearance, it is still usually against
people's morals to commit acts that will make people be hurt. I believe this situation helps promote the idea that
many people will do just about anything to get their idea heard and their point across. Finally, a third ironic
situation is the card game situation. In the Third Canto, Pope explains the card game of trickery just like Homer and
many other ancient poets wrote about battles in epics. The language Pope used and the way he worded the
"battle" between Belinda, Baron, and the other players and their cards helps make the card game seem more like a
battle. This example of irony helps the poem seem more like an ancient epic. The first and the second examples of
irony contribute to the overall themes of the poem, while the last examples helps demonstrate the style of Pope's
poem.

The poem explores a traditional (and misogynistic) literary theme of Donne's era: women's
romantic infidelity. Using vivid images of magic and mystery, the speaker insists that a faithful
woman is so hard to find, she might as well be the stuff of legends!
heroic couplet
A heroic couplet is a rhyming couplet, or pair of lines with end rhymes in iambic pentameter,
meaning there are five iambic 'feet' on each line. The heroic couplet traditionally appears in
long, narrative poems called epics, but it can also be used in mock epics that parody the
'heroic' tone of epic poetry.

The rape of the lock is usually described as a satire on the affected manners and unreal sorrows of
fashionable young ladies Pope sees the women in his poem as frivolous, in constant and as one
dimensional symbols Pope manages to marginalize women, in particular Belinda, by turning this
incident-the de-locking-into a mock epic, mocking Belinda and discounting her worth.
The poem tells about the mood of self complacent love of John Donne and his beloved. ... The theme of
the poem centres around the happy and joyful union between both the lover and the beloved. It is such
a union and bond where the poet has even not allowed the sun to disturb them
