Milton’s style was not modified by his subject; what is shown with greater extent in Paradise Lost may be found in Comus. One source of his peculiarity was his familiarity with the Tuscan poets; the disposition of his words is‚ I think‚ frequently Italian; perhaps sometimes combined with other tongues.

Paradise Lost Books 5 and 6 Book five of Paradise Lost opens with Adam and Eve sleeping. An interesting event in this section was Eve’s dream.

The dream sequence is found in Death of a Salesman and also in the New Testament. Something always happens due to dreams and this is why Carl Jung and Freud wrestled with the concept so much

true protagonist of Paradise Lost‚ has been brewing for centuries. One would gather that Milton‚ a Puritan‚ would have no problem casting God as the hero‚ and Satan as the antagonist. But looking back in history‚ Milton saw that most epic heroes had conflicts that prevented them from accomplishing their goals. God and his Son have no conflict‚ and Adam’s story doesn’t really begin until the Fall of Man. Therefore‚ Milton was forced to select Satan as the hero of Paradise Lost because he adheres to
