Abstract: ¡°Paradise Lost¡± is Miltons masterpiece .It is a long epic in 12 books, written in blank verse. The story were taken from the Old Testament: the creation of the earth and Adam and Eve, the fallen angels in hell plotting against God, Satans temptation of Eve, and the departure of Adam and Eve from Eden.Satan and his followers are banished from heaven and driven into hell, but even here in hell, mist flames and poisonous fumes, Satan and his adherents are not discouraged. The poem ,as we are told at the outset, was ¡°to justify the ways of God to man¡±, ie to advocate submission to the Amighty. The epic shows the writers misery after the Restoration, and his determination for revolution. The style of the epic is grand, which is the result of his life-long classical and biblical study. Keywords: Paradise Lost, revolution, religion, the personalities of the characters

    In the early modern masterpieces, John Milton was known for his unique ability to write in multiple languages and multiple styles of literature. One of his most famous pieces of literature was Paradise Lost. Milton was a man of deep faith, most specifically the Protestant faith. It was because of his faith that he had no fear of expressing his views on religion and the individual; he did this even when they were not in line with what was the popular view. Today we can see that Milton had a significant influence on the American mindset in his day, in ours, and he will continue to influence those in the future.…

Even today, society wants us to create our own independent thought and acts, it is a topic used in everyday life, while the Church still wants us to follow the light of God. Whether we decide to think YOLO or decide to think…

    While Milton’s retelling of the biblical tale of man’s origin within Paradise Lost is true to the bible, he manages to reinvent it in a slightly different manner – a manner that brings to light new questions about the roles Adam and Eve played in the fall of human kind. Speaking more specifically, his retelling of the fall of man seems to bring up questions about how gender operates within the biblical world and how it may relate to the time Milton comes from. At face value, the portrayal of Eve suggests that she is inferior and subordinate to Adam. There seems to be a stark contrast between Adam and Eve: where Adam is strong, rational, and intelligent, Eve is naïve and narcissistic. These differences between Adam…

    Milton voices the story of Adam and Eve’s disobedience, explaining the occurrences and why it happens. Raphael informs Adam about Satan’s disobedience in an effort to give him a firm grasp of the threat that Satan and humankind’s disobedience poses. Paradise Lost presents two moral paths that one can take after disobedience: the downward spiral of increasing sin , represented by Satan, and the road to redemption, represented by Adam and Eve. While Adam and Eve are the first to disobey God, Satan is the first of all God’s creation to disobey. His decision to rebel comes only from himself—he was not provoked by others.…

    Book1, lines 143-149) Beelzebub thinks what if God cast us into Hell to serve him some way. Then that means that Satan had not truly overthrown tyranny, but created a new type of tyranny. In John Milton’s Paradise Lost he believes is because humans are fallen they believe Satan’s belief that God is tyrannical and that Satan’s argument is rational.

    Milton equips his character Satan with the ability to skillfully articulate falsehoods and heretical notions which will be omitted by non-analytical readers, emphasizing and demanding the need to dissect the carefully constructed poetry’s function in the book’s defense and support of God. In Milton’s Paradise Lost, Satan observes his new surroundings and directs his reflection at his close ally Beelzebub after their fall and painful time spent in the lake (I. 220-240, p.217): Farewell happy Fields Where Joy for ever dwells: Hail horrors, hail Infernal world, and thou profoundest Hell Receive thy new Possessor: One who brings A mind not to be chang’d by Place or Time. The mind is its own place, and in itself Can make a Heav’n of Hell, a Hell of Heav’n.…
