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 ...

the main focal point in the media. We see the
female body being portrayed as one of a model with

begin portraying women with all types of figures.

definition of what beauty really is, not to
