In this epic simulation, the Pope is able to both satirize and humanize the flaws of bourgeois society by astutely observing and commenting on its rampant narcissism and his obsession with public image. Pope's mocking comment that questions society's trivial priorities supports the nullification of the role of beauty seen in The Tempest. Throughout the poem, Pope illustrates the utter obsession with fashioning oneself through the main character Belinda, a girl of extraordinary beauty but little substance. The value of beauty in the text is presented in several ways, one of which is the hyperbolized treatment of beautification rituals. For example, in Belinda's dressing table scene in Canto I, the silver vases are described as being "arranged in mystical order" (Pope I, 123) and the nymphs appear to pray to the "cosmetic powers" (Pope I , 124). . This use of grandiose, almost religious language, to describe a young girl putting on makeup, highlights the beauty in this society and mocks her at the same time by overly emphasizing and thus exposing her ridicule. Furthermore, the Nymphs and Belinda appear to treat this morning ritual as "sacred rites of pride" (Pope I, 128), which not only further emphasizes the importance of these wellness activities, but also illustrates that in this particular society, the unique source of pride seems to come from its external beauty. Additionally, another example of the incredibly important role that physical appearance plays in this society is the high esteem placed on hair, often described as "sacred hair" (Pope III, 153) – both the diction around the word “hair” and the capitalization of the word. he himself expresses his distorted importance to Belinda and those around him. Once he becomes pope, he clearly defines the values ​​of this society, he powerfully turns it on its head and reveals how shallow, vapid and devoid of intellect these characters truly are. In song
