Fear And Pity Adam And Eve
1,262 words
People 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. " Steadman
continues that "the Son and Satan embody heroic
archetypes and that, through ...

Garden Of Eden Kubla Khan

Kubla Khan, by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, is one of
the most enigmatic and ambiguous pieces of
literature ever written. Allegedly written after a
laudanum (an opiate) induced dream, the author
claims to have been planning a two hundred to
three hundred line poem before he got interrupted
by a man from Pollock, after which he had
forgotten nearly all of his dream. This may have
been merely an excuse, and the poem was scorned at
the time for having no poetic value, one critic
even going so far as to...

Epic Hero Paradise Lost

Paradise Lost is one of the finest examples of
epic tradition in all of literature. In composing
this work, John Milton was, for the most part,
following in the manner of epic poets of past
centuries. By knowing the background of epic
characteristics and conventions, it is easy to
trace their presence in Book I of Paradise Lost.
One of the biggest questions that a reader must
face is that of the hero; exactly who is the epic
hero in the poem? While Satan may not be the hero
of Paradise Lost, Mil...

Milton Paradise Lost York W W Norton

John Milton's Paradise Lost is a religious work,
and is in many ways an autobiography of Milton's
own life. John Milton was raised catholic and
converted to Protestantism. Later in life he
became a Calvinist. His strong Calvinists beliefs
can be seen throughout Paradise Lost. It was
Milton's desire to be a great poet, but he did not
believe that was his purpose in life. He believed
that he had been put here to serve God, and that
any thing that he wrote should be in one way or
another related to...

humorist abilities by concealing within them
deeper meanings, ultimately producing a satire of

his satire within the above two novels. The

cartoons. It has become a writing cliche, which is
very unoriginal. Cartoons like Pinky in the Brain,
use this cliche. The beginning setting of this
book has been borrowed from the Garden of Eden
because the author wants to get his point out. He
