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 ...

Reign In Hell Character Of Satan
1,164 words
Satan, as a character, has been satirized, mocked
and made foolish in our modern world. John Milton,
however, presents quite a different Satan from the
devil-on-your-shoulder image people are used to
seeing. In Paradise Lost, Milton draws on the
Bible for his source of Satan's character, thereby
creating a horrifyingly corrupt Satan. Despite
this portrayal, readers often find themselves
sympathizing with Satan's cause, and his
determination, viewing him as a hero for his
cause, as evidenced by h...

Professor Rohde December 9, 1998 Reflections of
Milton in Milton At a young age, John Milton was

literature. In Para...
