"Essay on Criticism = awful. Snotty, hypocritical, poorly written, and infuriating. Justifies everything horrible that has ever been said about Pope. After an Essay on Criticism I was too afraid to read the rest of the book - apparently Pope has multiple personalities and I didn't want to encounter the megalomaniac side again."
"I feel as though the verse hurts the content."
"This essay is also in verse, and quite frankly, it gets in the way."
"The entire essay is in verse. His thoughts are that it made it more powerful. My thoughts are that it obscured his message"

Alexander Pope - The Rape of the Lock
"today in english we're reading a 20 page epic poem about a lock of hair, and a card game:
HOW ABOUT NO"
"an insipid subject"
"I found the whole thing to be just a bit of overkill."
"i hate the rape of the lock and alexander pope brings a bad name to disabled people everywhere"
"I'm sorry Alexander Pope but 'The Rape of the Lock' sucks and not only am I procrastinating writing about you Pope, and Hogarth, and Smart, but I'm procrastinating up until the last minute. Fuck you for not burning your last copies of such stale British literature. Now we all have to suffer through it. That's not to say that these gentlemen weren't brilliant for their time; I'm just saying it's not their time anymore. Let's live in the now, please, for the sake of God."
"Belinda is over-dramatic as hell about her goddamn hair"
"Omg really
Belinda it is okay your hair went to heaven and became a constellation.
SMH ALEXANDER POPE"
