What is the final battle in "The Ra*pe of Lock", and how does Pope present it in a mock-epic style? Your answer should be at least one hundred words.

Alexander Pope main intention in "The R ape of the Lock" was to make fun of the mess up high class of the time, the main team is the trivialness of the nobility, in the final battle the baron has stolen a ringlet from Belinda’s hair and she is claiming it back, she claim herself victorious after splashing him with snuff, however during the combat the lock was lost so the Baron comforts her sating that is has risen to the stars and now the stargazers can admire it forever. This chaos for a ringlet and the end of the battle with the fantastic explanation show us how shallow were the high class and nobility issues.
