One of the characteristics of a classic epic poem is a noble and courageous hero or heroine. How does Pope employ this characteristic in his mock epic poem?

What Pope does in his mock epic poem is exaggerate things and present them as if they were serious and important. His noble characters are anything but noble, but their flaws are presented as if they're something courageous and noble and the event itself is presented as if it's an international disaster, and not just a piece of hair that's been cut off.
