Belinda's character represent 18th century womenAditi Vala
The document summarizes Belinda's character in Alexander Pope's "The Rape of the Lock" as representative of 18th century women.

Despite the satire, one can view Pope's criticism as advocating for women's rights by encouraging readers to consider pursuing more serious interests.

While Stoicism placed more responsibility on the individual, both philosophies promoted asceticism and withdrawal from the world.
