PARADISE LOST ~ A BRIEF OVERVIEW In the mid-seventeenth century‚ John Milton was a successful poet and political activist. He wrote scathing pamphlets against corruption in the Anglican Church and its ties to King Charles. In Milton’s day Puritanism meant having politically radical views.

In John Milton’s Paradise Lost‚ Adam and Eve are portrayed as innocent and susceptible creatures. Knowing that Adam and Eve were vulnerable and could easily be influenced‚ Satan took advantage. Satan was seeking revenge on God‚ and the easiest way for him to do this was to tempt God’s most prized possessions. “But I should ill become this throne‚ O peers‚ And this imperial sov’reignty‚ adorned With splendor‚ armed with power‚ if aught proposed and judged of public moment in the shape Of difficulty

If I were to sum up what I have learned from this course it would be focused on Faith and a new understanding of the Bible.

Biblically‚ Adam and Eve used to reside in the Garden of Eden‚ and were told by the Lord that they could go wherever they liked and eat whatever they desired so long as they stayed away from the tree of knowledge.

Although this issue is completely debatable‚ legend has it that Adam and Eve resided

Book 9 details the fall of mankind as Eve is tempted by the serpent‚ and consumes the forbidden fruit condemning mankind. This sole act allows sin to enter the world and is the sole reason why we experience hardship. However‚ within this book Milton paints a richer picture of what might’ve or likely happened on that fateful day as he describes the experiences of Adam and Eve within the garden.
