    Fate In Paradise Lost‚ Adam and Eve commit the first sin‚ and from this point on‚ all other sins are mere copies of this. Alexander Pope uses this to his benefit when he depicts the crime in The Rape of the Lock. By alluding to Milton’s work‚ Pope is able to comically refer to the cutting of a lock of hair as a tragic and epic event. In doing this‚ he paradoxically assumes that the crime is not one of personal fault‚ but one fated to happen by God‚ just as in Paradise Lost. “What

    By analyzing John Milton’s Paradise Lost‚ it is plain to see it is a fine example of epic poetry. For the most part‚ John Milton follows the three main guidelines that construct an epic poem. By beginning in a formal way‚ having supernatural warfare‚ and engaging a character in a dark voyage‚ John Milton clearly uses classical epic characteristics. In traditional epic poetry‚ the poet asks a muse to speak through him. In the very beginning‚ Milton invokes a muse to inspire and instruct him. "I

    Paradise Lost: Milton’s Approach To Lust‚ Sex‚ and Violence There is no reason to apply modern theories to Milton if we do not care whether Milton remains alive. However‚ if we wish him to be more than a historical artifact‚ we must do more than just study him against the background of his time. We must reinterpret him in light of the germane thought of our own age. -James Driscoll The Unfolding God Of Jung and Milton Images and

    Purpose While John Milton’s Paradise Lost deals with many interesting theological concepts and issues‚ I find the War in Heaven to be one of the most controversial subjects of the epic poem. Miltonists such as Ronald Bedford and Arnold Stein argue that the War in Heaven is largely a myth‚ an epic mockery of conflict. Others‚ like Stella P. Revard and Robert Thomas Fallon‚ take the opposite stance and vehemently claim that the war is far from a myth and essential to understanding Paradise Lost. Even within
