Dante wakes up and he is exposed to the strongest odor crawl into his nose. He sees a bright light‚ and wonders if it is heaven but he is on a sweaty and moist floor. The mist has a putrid smell of eucalyptus and male fragrance‚ in combination with the smell of a Protein shaker bottle left inside a gym for a month. He gets up and walks toward the dim light in the other room‚ as he walks through this room‚ and Boom! A 10 Foot 750 pound man of forty years of age stands over Dante. The man flexes his

Milton equips his character Satan with the ability to skillfully articulate falsehoods and heretical notions which will be omitted by non-analytical readers‚ emphasizing and demanding the need to dissect the carefully constructed poetry’s function in the book’s defense and support of God. In Milton’s Paradise Lost‚ Satan observes his new surroundings and directs his reflection at his close ally Beelzebub after their fall and painful time spent in the lake (I. 220-240‚ p.217): Farewell

Sympathy for Satan John Milton spent years trying to think of an idea to base his epic on; an idea that would make his epic last centuries and never be forgotten. His desire came to life since his work lives in history‚ along with Homer‚ Virgil and Dante. Finally‚ he found a muse in God and in the dawn of creation; rather than in earthly matters. John Milton’s intention while writing his epic was not to make Satan a hero‚ however‚ many people perceive such an idea. Instead‚ he simply wanted

Good vs. Evil according to Milton in Paradise Lost. John Milton divided the characters in his epic poem Paradise Lost into two sides‚ one side under God representing good‚ and the other side under Satan representing evil and sin.

Only later did Milton introduce the reader to all powerful God‚ leader and creator of all mankind. The

My purpose is to show that Milton’s Adam differs from that of Genesis. The two pieces of literature describe God’s creation of earth and mankind. In the two stories‚ the description of Adam is different. In Milton’s Paradise Lost‚ Adam converses indirectly with God through the archangel Raphael‚ whereas in Genesis‚ God talks to Adam‚ but Adam does not speak back. Another point where Milton’s Adam differs from that of Genesis is in the character of Adam. A third point of difference occurs at

Milton’s style was not modified by his subject; what is shown with greater extent in Paradise Lost may be found in Comus. One source of his peculiarity was his familiarity with the Tuscan poets; the disposition of his words is‚ I think‚ frequently Italian; perhaps sometimes combined with other tongues. Of him‚ at last‚ may be said what Jonson says of Spenser‚ that "he wrote no language‚" but has formed what Butler calls a "Babylonish dialect‚" in itself harsh and barbarous‚ but made by exalted genius

Page 1 The Satan of Paradise Lost The Satan of Milton’s Paradise Lost is often regarded in literary criticism as a remarkably complex character. Introduced to the readers as a fallen angel with a grudge against the almighty powers that be in heaven and a burning passion for vengeance‚ Satan receives more characterization and motivation than any other character in Milton’s epic including God Himself‚ who mostly operates in the background of the story. Because of the time spent familiar
