The Role of Knowledge in Paradise Lost and Frankenstein Throughout history, most human societies have valued knowledge and have used knowledge to improve the state of their civilizations. However, both Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and John Milton’s Paradise Lost discuss the dangers of knowledge. In Paradise Lost, fruit from the Tree of Knowledge causes the fall of man and introduces humanity to sin. In Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein’s thirst for knowledge leads to the creation of a monster…

Demons The Existence and Nature of Demons A. Their Creation – God created demons as part of the angelic realm originally (Col.1:16). B. Their Fall – The evidence – It is clear that Satan has a following of like beings (“Prince of the demons” – Matt.12:24; the Devil and his angels – Matt.25:41). Demons are described throughout the Scriptures (Dan.10:10-20; Matt.10:1; Eph.6:12). 2. The time – At the fall of Satan, many angels followed him in that rebellion (demons are fallen angels). A third of…

A subtle, yet important theme in Mark Twain’s Eve’s Diary is power. Both Adam and Even display power over one another. Adam’s silent treatment saddens Eve while Eve’s inquisitive curiosity scares Adam. Mark Twain hides power in this story, but it’s importance can’t be denied. The definition of power is the ability to direct or influence the behavior of others or the course of events. Based on this definition, Eve displayed power over Adam with her curiosity. At the beginning of the story, Eve…

everyone can eat it fruits that it gives but they absolutely cannot touch the trees roots otherwise it may hurt it, since the tree is the main resource for food on Skyworld; everyone respects this great privilege except for one. In the Bible the Garden of Eden contained two different trees, one was the Tree of Knowledge, if one was to eat the fruits from this tree they would have the ability to have knowledge and experience and the other tree was the Tree of Life which granted immortality but…

Many people have an understanding of what evil is, but when asked why most just say because it is. However, when reading Augustine the reader can clearly see what he views as evil and why he does so. For Augustine evil is classified as a form of corruption that can be associated with pride but that not all pride is evil. Augustine bases this on the fact that like a “corrupted tree” (Augustine, pg.608), Adam and Eve choose the corruption by “an act of their own free will” (Augustine, pg. 608).…

Hector St. John de Crèvecoeur’s “Letters from an American Farmer,” and William Bartram’s “From Travels Through North & South Carolina, Georgia, East & West Florida” are two works that seek to examine the environment through the interaction and experience with different animals. Each author adopts a romantic view throughout his experience, vividly describing the beauty behind the species they come in contact with. However, these two writers deviate from one another once the contact with the…

in that how Milton begins the beginning of this paragraph by stating “Of man’s first disobedience…” this phrase shows us how humanity chose to do something they were not supposed to which an exercise of free will is clearly. Milton then goes on to state “Of Oreb, or of Sinai, didst inspire that Shepherd, who first taught the chosen seed…(Milton7-8” both of these locations is speculated that God delivered the 10 Commandments to Moses and the 10 Commandments are the cornerstone of the belief of…

Therefore, everything even reason gets regarded as a lesser importance to the command of God, according to Milton. Reason is choice once again. While free will remains a fitting and not a real ideal in terms of where the only imaginary being to be exercising it are seen as Satanic. Many acclaim the innocent and unspoiled Eden as home to complete freedom of will. However, the very example of the punishment and removal of Satan to Hell contradicts the belief. Not only is Adam considered more…

As an all knowing, omnipotent God, it should surely follow that this God is also forgiving, and kind. While the Bible certainly shows this to an extent, it’s not seen as much in Genesis, where the first great sin is punished more harshly than others seem to be. The issue that arises when reading Genesis, and considering Adam and Eve partaking in the fruit from the forbidden tree, is who the fault lies with in terms of initiation. When God asks, Adam replies, “The woman whom thou gavest to…
