Adam And Eve Tree Of Knowledge
1,182 wordsSo oft they fell / Into the same illusion, not as man / Whom they triumphed once lapsed. / Thus were they plagued (Milton, Book X, 570 - 72). Leaving the underworld, once again, defeated by the heavens. Although John Milton's epic poem, Paradise Lost, is considered to be a tragedy, it displays some reminders of a comic end.

Fear And Pity Adam And Eve
1,262 wordsPeople argue about who the hero is of Paradise Lost: Satan, Adam or Christ, the Son? Since Milton's overall theme stated in the opening lines of Book I is to relate 'Man's first disobedience' and to 'justify the ways of God to men', I think Adam must be regarded as the main hero. John M. Steadman supports this view in an essay on Paradise Lost. "It is Adam's action which constitutes the argument of the epic.

Gift Of Writing Carpe Diem Poem
372 wordsThe poem On his Blindness, written by John Milton is considered, aside from Paradise Lost, one of his best works. The way the poem was written did not appeal to me, as it was somewhat hard to read. Although I was not intrigued by the style of the sonnet, I greatly enjoyed the meaning and substance of the poem. It is easy to see why this poem would be placed amongst the greatest of all times, because of the way Milton expresses his thoughts on him becoming entirely blind. The sonnet was written i...
