Comparisons and Contrasts Regarding Social Class and Human Happiness in the Works of Alexander Pope, Jonathan Swift and Daniel Defoe
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing social class and human happiness found in the works of Pope, Swift and Defoe. The 18th century writings of Alexander Pope, Jonathan Swift and Daniel Defoe reveal much of the attitudes of the time in which adherence to social class is directly related to human happiness. Pope however in “The Rape of the Lock” and “Essay on Man” tends to cross traditional views by venturing that happiness is meant to be equally enjoyed by all men and women and strict confinement of social conventions can cause undue damage to happiness. Swift in “Gulliver’s Travels” reveals how man’s perception of society, respect, laws and happiness are solely based on those learned within his or her own society and are different in different cultures opening the readers to the concept that not all conventions are universal. Lastly, Defoe in “Moll Flanders” is the most adamant in the writing of Moll who tries to better her station in life and only bring unhappiness to herself and those around her for attempting to do so. Example quotes are used from each work. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
