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. " Steadman continues that "the Son and Satan embody heroic archetypes and that, through ...

Hester Prynne Arthur Dimmesdale

Most everyone lies at some point, whether it be to cover something up or just make someone feel better. Or it can be both. We as people are very afraid of being judged in a bad way, so if a person does something sinful or shunned upon, they lie about it to keep their reputations protected.
