can you please tell me the brief notes on the major characters of rape of the lock?

There are four major characters in Alexander pope's
rape of the lock.here the brief notes about
them...


Belinda:The poetic name of Arabella Fermor, an
upper-class English girl. She is a beautiful young woman and vain of her appearance.
Although she is a sweet society girl who loves her spaniel and is normally quite
agreeable, she flies into a horrid rage when Lord Petre snips off one of her treasured
curls.


Lord Petre:A young nobleman, one of Belinda’s
suitors. He admires Belinda so much that he wants one of her curls as a keepsake and
snips it off at a party when she bends her head over a cup. He refuses to return the
curl, and it disappears to become a star.


Spleen:The queen
of bad tempers and the source of detestable qualities in human beings. She supplies
Umbriel with magic substances.


Betty: Belinda’s
maid.
