Seven Deadly Sins Paradise Lost
1,168 wordsIn Milton's Paradise Lost, sexuality is an innate part of human nature. Milton celebrates Adam and Eve's prelapsarian "connubial love" (PL, IV, 743), singing "Hail wedded Love" (PL, IV, 750). In its proper place in the hierarchy (below God), sex in Milton's view is sacred and spiritual, sanctioned by God.

Men And Women Cultural Context
1,199 wordsThroughout the history of anthropology it has been a popular view that people are largely products of their culture, and not the other way around.
