	Looking at John Milton’s Paradise Lost‚ we can see that there are the two ideas of damnation and salvation through reconciliation present in the characters of Satan and Adam & Eve‚ respectively. It is Satan’s sin of pride that first causes him to fall from God’s grace and into the bowels of hell. This same pride is also what keeps him from being able to be reconciled to God‚ and instead‚ leads him to buy into his own idea of saving himself. With Adam & Eve‚ we see that although they

Where’s the Eve in Adam‚ why couldn’t she love him when she had him? Why couldn’t trust just come naturally‚ why so much misery‚ like picking fruit from a forbidden tree. Where’s the Eve in Adam‚ why did the love bring hurt and a heart sadden? Where’s the solace‚ the safety net‚ where’s the all give and not much to get. The sharing‚ caring and respect. Where’s the Eve in Adam‚ why couldn’t she love him when she had him? Why the simple words just stab him? Words cut and hurt deeper than any physical

Week Five Study Insights Discussion My first insight for Study #9 begins with “The Book of Acts often called “The Witness Book” which I have never heard stated that way nor had I paid any attention to the number of times the word witness appeared in the Book of Acts. I also liked the profound statement made that said “you cannot be a witness without witnessing”. Now‚ that makes perfectly good sense to me. I also thought the illustration of the High Priest’s robe in the Old Testament symbolizing

Banananana Batman! “Get your banana hands away from me!” ‚ screamed the black and yellow winged blur. Of course Mum had just eaten a banana with her muesli and the scent still lingered on her fingers. "NO‚ NO‚ STOP. I can even smell it!" argued the caped crusader as Mum tried to haul him into the car. This is Charlie‚ the six year old "wannabe" Batman who is terrified of bananas. You see he is an odd little fellow. While he would supposedly fight crime and rise against all vegetable kind‚ in hope

Revka’s remark reminded me of a quote stating‚ “Sometimes kindness can hurt more than the harsh reality.” It is questionable in how true the two statements – Revka’s and the quote I recall – are‚ but the two are undoubtedly related to the current situation between Yael and the Man from the North. In essence‚ Revka’s comment may be a possible foreshadowing of what may happen to the Man from the North‚ eventually setting “his body aflame.” Already‚ we can see signs of affection the Man from the North

The book of Genesis contains two accounts of creation that contrast in content. The first account of creation speaks about how God created the earth and describes what He created each day‚ but the second account primarily speaks about the creation and fall of Adam and Eve. The order in which things were created seems to be very different in both accounts. The creation of plants‚ vegetation‚ wild animals‚ and birds was mentioned in the first account before the creation of mankind was mentioned. God

She thought the restriction against "eating the fruit of knowledge" not well thought through. She felt god’s threat of death as a consequence of eating the fruit of knowledge excessive. Yet when Eve ate the fruit she caused a dramatic shift - in both nature and the human condition. In nature‚ things begin to degrade and human beings began to die. Eve’s downfall began when she thought she had the capacity judge the existence of waste (p.200). God offered human beings an array of gifts. Yet he

Filippino Lippi painted St. Philip Exorcising the Demon in the Temple of Mars between the years 1487 and 1502 for the Strozzi Chapel in Florence‚ Italy. The composition is rectangular.

Intro to British Literature 25 October 2013 Dr. Faustus and Paradise Lost There are many similarities between the Dr. Faustus by Christopher Marlowe and Paradise Lost by John Milton; thematically they both share the same a great deal in common. In Paradise Lost and in Dr. Faustus the main characters are both on a long quest for knowledge believing that there will be some kind of great reward at the end of their quest‚ but in the end their reward was nothing but suffering and pain. Sadly I also
