Naturally Good‚ Selfishly Evil If people are born good what makes them become evil? Evil is grown in people’s hearts over time and the more someone gives into temptation‚ the more evil their heart becomes. People are inherently good‚ however‚ some people succumb to evil because of the lack of self-restraint against temptation. One reason people give in to temptations because of selfish desires. Eve was tempted by Satan to eat the apple because she wanted to gain knowledge. In Genesis: “Ye shall

Exercise One After a quick read of the passage from 3.540-587‚ one may assume that Satan is only concerned with viewing the beauty of the newly created earth. However‚ after a closer analysis and look into the language actually used in the passage‚ it is revealed that the sun is a more prominent figure in the passage than the earth. Therefore‚ Milton use of words and images throughout this passage convey the message of the stark contrast between the good the sun does for the earth and the earth’s

The great visionary Satan‚ gives a perfect example on how power is the ability to define reality. Satan’s power is so great because under the reality he perpetuates in “Paradise Lost”‚ even the all-powerful character God‚ can seem like a powerless baby. Satan indoctrinates Gods own creations and then easily uses them against God once they are under his reality. Satan uses his reality to harm God‚ something he could never do with physical power. This is a perfect example of Dr.Noble’s claim “power

The conflict between the individual and the state is perpetuated in Metropolis‚ and it is in its plot that the modernists fears of the machine age are evident. Robot Maria is used as a narrative device in Fritz Lang’s Metropolis to orchestrate chaos and disunity in the city‚ perpetuating the conflict between the Head and the Hands. Rotwang creates her as the antithesis of Maria and the personification of vice‚ so Joh Fredersen can use her to “…sow discord between them and her!” It is in the visual

In Paradise Lost by John Milton‚ Adam and Eve share a strong marital bond‚ but in the beginning‚ God and Adam share a godlike relationship that surpasses it.

God creates Paradise and decides to give Adam and Eve free will to choose how they want to live their lives. God only gives Adam and Eve one condition: do not eat fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. However‚ Eve’s free will leads

The act of Adam and Eve was not original sin‚ but in truth‚ first blessing. You should thank them from the bottom of your hearts. For in being the first to make a "wrong choice" Adam and Eve produced the possibility of making any choice at all. In your mythology you have made Eve the bad one‚ the temptress who ate of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil and coyly invited Adam to join her. This mythological setup has allowed you to make woman man’s downfall ever since. Resulting in all

Carol Meyer’s translation of Genesis reads similar to the NRSV version translation. The main difference I see comes from the neutral phrasings used for the first human prior to the “cosmic surgery‚” where the first human would become a man and a woman‚ Adam and Eve. One issue with the Meyer translation that I found unsatisfactory is the use of neutral pronouns. This is a nit-picky issue for me because the neutral phrasing might translate better‚ tone wise‚ in the original tongue of the writing. However

Milton opened up the right of divorce in an age when divorce was unmentionable in society and prohibited by nearly all denominations and religions. The only ground for a lawful divorce in Milton’s time usually involved some sort of sexual incompatibility due to unlawful relations outside of the marriage.
