that might undermine my assurance of salvation. I was taught that hell was run by a demon known by many names; the devil‚ Satan‚ Lucifer‚ and the Fallen Angel.

For this assignment I will be answering the question “The hero of Paradise lost is Eve rather than Adam‚ assess the validity of this comment”. I will discuss what a hero means and how Eve’s actions could make her the hero of the poem or the villain. I hope to show whether or not there actually is a hero in the poem and if it is Eve what did she achieve as the ‘hero’. Or could Adam be the hero?
