    This paper contextualizes the Epistle to Dr Arbuthnot (1735) and details the themes and objectives of Alexander Pope through contrastive analysis and research on literary techniques. First, it addresses how the author is concerned about corruption and poor literary practice that is brewing in Britain at poetasters' hands. Secondly, it discusses how the poet defends satirical writing and the literary genre of satire facing the fabula facta. Thirdly, the image of the poet which emanates from his work is addressed, either directly or tangentially, forming an apologia pro vita sua. The central part of the article analyzes the sketches of Atticus, Bufo, and Sporus, interpreting the alter egos that reflect their motivations and their goals. These incursions allow us to infer some facts about Pope's singular literary thoughts.
