Appearance
Monkey or Rat?
[edit]"However, the satirist makes use of Pope's hunchback to make his monkey look almost like a rat." Um, I don't think it's supposed to be a monkey. That was actually my initial impression, probably because of the Pope's head, but upon quick inspection the entire body is ratlike and not monkey-like. The fingers, the feet, the tail, the haunches, the posture, the whole body. 65.96.209.236 (talk)
