Attempt a short critical essay on Pope use of the sylph machinary in the rape of the lock

Sorry, this is only a short answer space.

The sylphs represent the souls of the beautiful women and serve various purposes in the poem, such as protecting Belinda's possessions and warning her of impending disaster, to parody the use of gods and angels in the epic poem. Sylphs are also only concerned and busy worrying about Belinda's vanity and virtue, unlike the serious issues in the ILLIAD,battle between the Greeks and Trojans.
