Response to Alexander Pope, An Essay on Man

According to Pope, what place do human beings have in the universe in relation to other creatures?

Pope wrote this Poem to indicate  the relationship between humanity and God. He acknowledges that human beings are not special but just a part of the large system that God have created. He also states that all God’s creation is significant since taking out one piece would ruin the entire system. However, he believes that humans are below God, spirits and angles but are above plants, animals and inanimate objects.
