To me, there is familiarization in Alexander Pop's Rape of the Lock especially when the poet introduces the visit to the cave of spleen and disappearance of lock like that of something metaphysical nature. The topic itself familiarizes the whole poem.
Familiarization is a term introduced by Shklovsky(1917) is a dualistic way of looking at world and employs strangeness, newness and novelty. To me, Alexander Pope brings about novelty and poetic genuineness not bey means of feelings and emotions but by intellect, reason, and strangeness of the form. Words, phrases, satire, humour, remarks, epigrams, zeguma, caesura, comparisons and contrasts, similes, metaphors, and imagery bring about familiarization.
None did answer. Find the answer from Dr Debora as below:
From Dr. Deborah Knuth Klenck,
Defamiliarization is not something I've thought about in regard to "Rape," but I suppose it could apply to such rhetorical devices as the zeugma of uniting "counsel" and "tea" in the famous couplet of the second Canto. I find "half a pair of gloves" a comical way to refer to, well, "a glove. "
I'll think it over and write at greater length this week!
Yes, I think there is demilitarization. The seen which we observe often is made something special by the poet. This is the art of creative writer to make the reader curious by presenting common thing as uncommon and special.
