    There have been many debates on creation and our existence. When did life begin and what started it all? After all, we’re here. We breathe air in. We make decisions that spur action. We love vigorously and can be hurt deeply. Human emotions are part of everyday life and yet we live without regard to how we have these emotions in the first place. An unbiased look at Genesis 1-11 clearly shows the reason why. God is a loving God and He created us for relationship. Natural World…

    In ‘Tess of the D’Urbervilles’ Hardy presents the theme of innocence throughout the novel. This theme is directly linked to the character of Tess, and her loss of innocence, during the novel. Because of the pastoral genre, we expect as an audience for a loss of innocence to be a feature in the novel, which means Hardy presents this innocence as being dangerous and desirable. When we first see Tess, she is depicted as a girl of innocence, in her ‘white muslin’, as white has connotations of…

    Paradise lost is a poem written by John Milton that explains the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and how they were tempted by one of God’s fallen angels Satan. Throughout the books Satan defies God and the debate starts whether Satan is a hero or anti-hero. I find in books one and two Satan appears more of a hero and that Blake was of not the Devils party. Book one of paradise lost explains that Milton was not of the devils’ party in regards to Satan was once an angel of light until…

    Forbidden Tree, disobeying their creator, God. The consumption of the fruit could have only been done through free will, since it allows an individual to act at their own discretion. This came with several consequences, like being banished from the Garden of Eden. In Paradise Lost, Milton did not justify God’s ways to man through the gift of free will, but instead incriminates God because free will is the cause of man’s downfall. God knew the outcome of His actions in this situation, but He…

    The epic, Paradise Lost, is an interesting fictionalized interpretation of the story of Adam and Eve in the book of Genesis in the Bible. John Milton, author, writes about the character of Satan with aspects of being victimized, becoming the potential hero, and looking for the way to freedom from God, the tyrannical ruler. Milton also gives the characters of Adam and Eve a greater sense of awareness to their surroundings and the development of actions other than devoting their lives to…

    Milton’s thoughts and views on Eve are a reflection of his thoughts on the nature of women. During the age of Milton, the belief that women were the reason for the fall of mankind was a main theological view, as suggested by The Bible. The view transcends past the Christian culture and stretches to the Greeks as even they have their own Eve. Unlike majority of biblical writers, Milton shows little restraint as he sublimely refers to Eve as the inferior. Due to the ingenuity of Milton’s mind…

    THOUGH IT SEEMS INTUITIVE TO ASSUME AN EITHER STRICTLY FEMINIST OR ANTI-FEMINIST READING WHEN CONSIDERING EVE, THIS BINARY SYSTEM DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT HOW BOTH READINGS IN FACT REINFORCE ONE ANOTHER Eve’s body is a particularly salient way in which her place in the gender hierarchy is solidified. This is established from the moment the characters are introduced in Book IV: Shee as a vail down to the slender waste Her unadorned golden tresses wore Disheveld, but in wanton ringlets wav 'd…

    Paradise Lost by John Milton makes God appear unjust from Satan’s viewpoint. Satan’s grand speeches in books I & II give the reader a sense that Milton is attempting to make Satan the hero. However, Milton later reveals Satan’s exaggerative and untruthful ways indicating he is actually the enemy. Thus, through the character development of Satan and the manner of a true Promethean / Romantic hero, Adam is the true hero of Paradise Lost. Since the reader doesn’t know of Satan’s deceptive ways in…
