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…

goes wrong just blame the women and let the men be. Things use to be that men were the reason behind bad outcomes. The roles have switched without any evidence of why.

Whether they are rightly or wrongly accused they are still accused. This happens a lot in society today. It’s like men can’t do any wrong and that things…

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…

In Paradise Lost, John Milton writes an epic that tells the ever captivating tale of good versus evil from where he believes is the beginning, the Garden of Eden.
