Jonathan Swift's poem, "A Woman's Wardrobe", depicts a man's love for a woman as the author, Strephon, and the audience explore the events that take place in a woman's bedroom. Like many other men, Strephon is an obsessed lover whose view of women is distorted by radical 18th-century ideals of love and beauty. Although the poem is a satire, Swift attempts to establish that love is blind and presents that love is solely based on the beauty of women. By introducing an idealistic lover into a realistic environment, it examines the disturbing end results of Celia's fall from her divine state. By humanizing herself, Swift manages to demolish ridiculous fantasies of love and beauty, and men are also able to see more clearly behind clothes and makeup. In "A Lady's Dressing Room", Swift exposes the contradiction between the idealized love created by 18th century society and reality, as he forces Strephon to see beyond Celia's facade by investigating Celia's dressing room. Celia and discovering traumatic facts as well as disillusioning him with the help of Swift. vivid description.Swift represents love as impractical and unnatural in her satire in order to mock 18th century society due to its obsession with love and beauty. Initially, Swift begins by calling Celia "the goddess of her bedroom..." (ln 1) in order to mock the glorification that women tend to receive from men. Additionally, Celia spends “five hours…dressing” (ln 2-3). It attacks and ridicules idealizations of love and beauty because women were seen as beautiful goddesses and their boyfriends idolized them to no end. Women also spend a huge amount of time trying to make themselves look beautiful and well dressed, but they actually spend little time trying to hide middle of paper......, Swift is only trying to demolish the romantic . ideals of women and beauty from 18th century society. He wants to reveal the reality that humanity is imperfect and that love only blinds these imperfections. And the only way to illustrate reality to the public is to reduce women to the simplest but most disgusting bodily functions that equalize men and women. As society places more importance on idealized love, Swift criticizes these false idealizations and exposes the truth to the public through her poetic satire. According to Swift, 18th-century love is more of an infatuation with women and beauty, as both tend to be obsessed with first impressions of appearances. As Strephon invading Celia's room proves, Jonathan Swift only highlights that love is not based solely on physical appearances, because even appearances, more specifically, can be deceiving..
