The Rape of the Locks1
[Perikeiromene]
Introductory Note to The Rape of the Locks
The date of the play is quite uncertain, and a good deal of it is lost. But the confusion engendered by a combination of and variations upon the conventional themes of lost children and returning soldier is entertaining, and the treatment of the confused characters is sympathetic. Polemon is more human than most boastful soldiers, and the ‘lost child with tokens’ theme is enlivened by there being two children, only one of whom knows some of the truth, and who share between them the tokens which eventually reveal the truth.
