Employing biblical characters, the poem serves as a political allegory reflecting the Monmouth Rebellion and the Exclusion Crisis in 17th century England. Through the lens of Absalom's rebellion against King David, Dryden critiques contemporary political figures, with Absalom symbolizing James Scott and Achitophel representing the Earl of Shaftesbury. The use of heroic couplets enhances its literary appeal, making it both a poetic masterpiece and a historical commentary that delves into the era's complex political dynamics.
