In Milton’s Paradise Lost‚ the prominence of “celestial machinery” cannot be stressed enough. The divine figures in Milton’s epic play central roles to shaping the destinies of Adam and Eve. Where God gives man free will Satan exploits this and corrupts man‚ resulting in their downfall. Milton adapts celestial machinery to his epic poem through God and Satan. In this way‚ when God gives man the power to think for themselves‚ it is in fact the first instance that a divine figure has played an active

Full Circle from Sin to Salvation Great works of literature have been written throughout history. However‚ The Divine Comedy and Paradise Lost have the inept ability to stir the soul and cause a person to examine and re-examine their life.

read the book‚” Frankenstein” by Mary Shelly‚ I felt like the monsters violence was unjustified. His violent out burst were for revenge. When the monster didn’t get a female companion it made him angry and sad. He cant get any one remotely like him. No one to know what he feels on the day to day basis. But that doesn’t give him the right to kill or hurt people. He killed William‚ Elizabeth‚ and Henry; just to get back at Victor. That’s a perfect example on how unjustified the monsters actions were.

Paradise Lost by John Milton. My aim is to do an essay to analyze Paradise Lost by the English poet John Milton. I want to concentrate in the three important new concepts which appear‚ for the first time‚ in the 17th century which are reflected in Milton’s Paradise Lost: man‚ nature‚ and experience. The 17 th century was a time when a great many issues that had arisen since the Reformation came to ahead: religion‚ politics‚ power and freedom were questioned as never before.
