How much for a locke?

In English we had to read the rape of the locke. It is basically about a baron who wants to get this girl's hair. There are also these 'syphs' who try and protect the girl from getting her hair cut. Long story short the baron gets a lock of her hair, and she believes that it is rape. In the process the syphs protect her from this, and then one of them is cut in half by the scissors that are used to cut her hair. It is a funny serious type piece. It uses satire a bunch to demonstrate its point to its reader. It is similar in its ways to Jonathon Swift's "A modest proposal', or the baby eating theory as I like to call it. They both play on the satire of humanity to create a funny serious point. Also in this story the girl asks the baron if she could get the hair that he cut off back. As anyone who really wants something would say, he declined this offer and continued on with the lock of hair. She was saddened by this. This is a comical story. Also in class we had to read an excerpt from "Paradise lost" I found this story very interesting. It was religious and it had many parts about it that were very interesting. In some forms of literature you see Beelzebub as Satan, and in this story Beelzebub talked to Satan. I found that interesting, as well as many of the other choices throughout the story, such as Satan being a cherub.
