    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.

    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

    that are meant to highlight a theme (Citation needed). The first Fitzgerald used is from where he derives his title. “...Well this side of Paradise!... There’s little comfort in the wise.” The quote comes from Robert Brooke. Brooke wrote a poem called “Tiare Tahiti.” In this line Brooke discusses how heaven is supposed to be a relief to a select few; a paradise at the end of life.

Although Milton is not necessarily saying the Fall of Man went down the way he wrote it‚ the story is much more believable – and more entertaining – if the characters seem like they could have been real people. Satan places his pride first and resists obedience to God‚ thereby taking the alternative that
