The Rape of the Lock

Based on Alexander Pope's classic mock-heroic poem, a non-commercial kinetic novel that explores the petty squabbles of the Beau-monde through comparison to the world of Greek epics and the divine. Set in early Georgian England, young Belinda is an innocent and virginal nymph guarded constantly by her Sylphs. However, one day after playing cards with the Baron she finds her beauty and honor at stake, subject to his 'glitt'ring forfex'...

"What dire Offence from am'rous Causes springs,
What mighty Contests rise from trivial Things,
I sing -- This Verse to C---, Muse! is due;
This, ev'n Belinda may vouchsafe to view:
Slight is the Subject, but not so the Praise,
If She inspire, and He approve my Lays.
Say what strange Motive, Goddess! cou'd compel
A well-bred Lord t'assault a gentle Belle?
Oh say what stranger Cause, yet unexplor'd,
Cou'd make a gentle Belle reject a Lord?
And dwells such Rage in softest Bosoms then?
And lodge such daring Souls in Little Men?"

Thanks for the encouragement :) The script's completely out of the way, I just need to find some dedicated artists to provide the artwork

It's an old poem. A lot of people don't study Pope these days. It's a shame because his work is quite amazing and very funny once you understand the satire.

This is where I say something like "I did my thesis on Pope's The Rape of the Lock." It's a funny damn story. Because it's ridiculous. There's so much imagery in the poem, so I look forward to seeing what you come up with it.

It's going to rely on the art quite heavily so just hoping any takers are dedicated enough :mrgreen:
