Shakespeare’s ‘Sonnet 130’ tells the story of a man describing his mistress intimately‚ yet distastefully; “… why then her breasts are dun.” Whereas in ‘A beautiful young nymph going to bed’‚ Swift tells the story of a low class prostitute in London in the 18th

Introduction: Belinda is the most famous character in Pope’s poetry. She is a bundle of contradictions. On one hand‚ she is the object of satire; on the other hand‚ she is the goddess of beauty and charm. In fact‚ Pope invokes her blessings as if she were the goddess of poetry.
