I really don't know how I feel about this. It was so short and I basically read the entire thing without really knowing what was going on. Obviously because it is a mock-epic it was slightly confusing when card games were being described as battles etc. Some of the content and lectures on it within my course was quite interesting but I really took absolutely nothing from my initial reading.

I must say I was pleased of a short thing to read after Paradise Lost though and the rhyming couplets throughout did make it quite pleasant (it was interesting to find later that the first line builds up heroic expectations with the second dashing them). Overall, the entire thing was very forgettable and I felt like I was just trying to get through it when I was reading it

When analysing it closely I can see there are definitely interesting aspects but the entire thing was not what I expected from the title. The fact that it was literally about a piece of hair being cut off was slightly ridiculous (I know that is the point). I can't even remember the names of any of the characters. It just went by very quickly and I didn't connect with or really understand much of it on my first read.
