The poem concerns the biblical story of the fall of man,the temptation of adam and eve by the fallen angel satan and their expulsion from the garden of eden.Milton`s purpose staten in book 1,is to “justify the ways to god to men.”
Title
Paradise Lost is an elaborate retelling of the most important and tragic incidents in the book of genesis,the first book of the bible.genesis narrates the creation of the world and all its inhabitants,including adam and eve,the first human beings.firstly,everything was just perfect;god gave adam and eve the garden of eden to live in,there was no death,no sensation,all the animals were nice there.the only thing they were not allowed to do was eat from the tree of knowledge.well,one day,the devil disguised himself as a serpant and convinced eve to eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge.she inturn convinced adam to partake.god became very angry with both for disobeying the rule and as a punishment,he banished both of them from paradise,instituted death,suffering pains while giving birth and a whole lot more.adam and eve effectively Lost paradise.
Theme
Themes are the fundamental and often universal ideas explored in a literary work.
The importance of obedience to god:
The first works of Paradise Lost states that the poem`s main theme will be Man`s first disobedience.Milton narrates the story of adam and eve`s disobedience,explains how and why it happens and places the story within the larger context of satan`s rebellion and jesus` resurrection.
Adam and eve are the first humans to disobey god,satan is the first of all god`s creation to disobey.satan was not provoked by others.his dicision to continue to disobey god after his fall into hell ensures that god will not forgive him.same here,adam and eve decide to repent for sins and seek forgiveness,last book of this poem demonstrates that obedience to god,even after repeted falls,can lead to humankind`s salvation.
The hierarchical nature of the universe:
Paradise Lost is all about hierarchy as much as its about obedience.
The layout of the universe:Heaven,Earth,Hell.
Above statement shows the universe as a hierarchy based on proximity to god and his grace.
Satan`s refusal to honor the sun as his superior,questioning god`s hireachy.angels in satan`s camp rebel with a hope of beating god,and when the son and good angels defeat the rebel angels.the rebels are punished by being banished for away from heaven with lowest rank satan continues to disobey god and his hireachy as seeks to corrupt mankind.same as humankind`s disobedience is a corruption of god`s hireachy.
The fun as partly fortune:
Adam and eve`s disobedience allows god to show his mercy and temperance in their punishments and his eternal providence towards humankind.humankind must have experience pain and death but humans can also experience mercy,salvation and grace in ways that would not have been able to had they not disobeyed.while humankind has fallen from grace,individuals can redeem and save themselves through continued devotion and obedience to god.the salvation of humankind that formed the son`s sacrifice and resurrection can begin to restore humankind to its former state.this fortunate results justifies god`s reasoning and explains his ultimate plan for humankind.
Characters:
Satan:
God`s adversary comes as a character of satan.he known as Lucifer.great pride and rebellion of satan leads him towards hell.eventually,he destroyes paradise by assuming the shape of a seapant and tricking eve into eating from the forbidden tree of knowledge.he is the father of the sins and death.
God:
Creator of the universe ,heaven,hell,angels and men.he is omnipresent and omnipotent yet bestous man with free will to choose actions.he is the father of the son,upon whom he bestous the power of judging.satan`s rebellion against him,doubting his omnipotence and challenges for his authority is there in the poem.
Son:
God`s son and equal who given the power to judge man.he was mortal to save man.yet he is resurrected.he even confirms adam and eve after their transgression and clothing both,doles out their punishments.
Adam:
The first human creation of god.rules of eve,who was a creation from his rib.he also warned not to transgress by rapheal.he decides to join eve in her mortality and against his better knowledge;follows her even and eats the forbidden fruit.then his punishment contains hard labor in the field and morality.
Eve:
The second human creation from adam`s rib.with seductively and submissively described as adam`s wife.due to trick of satan of eating the forbidden fruit,she received the punishment of becoming mortal and suffering pain of born baby.
Raphael:
Sender of god to warn adam and eve about satan and remind them to their free will.he engages in a lengthy discussion of satan`s rebellion and universe`s creation of adam`s resquest.
Michael:
He leads the forces of good against the satan.he has important part to jobbing the satan.he enters for escort adam and eve from paradise,and tells them to the truth that will come to pass of both events.
Some minor characters:
Muse:to give him the inspiration to carry on,Milton invoked at certain points.
Beelzubub:a fallen angel and satan`s biggest supporter.
Moloch:a fallen angel.
Sin:son`s daughter.she is half woman and half dogs.with death she guards the gates of hell.
Death:son of sin.
Chaos:ruler of the abyss.he aids satan in getting to earth.
Uriel:is fooled by satan on his way to earth.
Gabriel:guard of the paradise.
Style:
Milton used grand style in Paradise Lost.a tendency to write in long often complicated sentences that can`t simply breese through the text but it must ponder that carefully.a tendency to allude somehow to the bible and to the classical texts.a tendency to use a kind of structure more simple in latin than in anglo saxon English.
Summary:
Book number nine opens with notes to tragic elements.satan returns to earth where he chooses the serpant as his best disguise.next morning when adam and eve go for their gardening tasks,eve suggests they go in seprate directions.with great reservation adam finally consents.the serpant finds eve alone and approaches her.she is surprised to find the creature can speak and is soon induced by him to eat the fruit of the forbidden tree.adam is horrified when he finds what she has done,but at length resignes himself to share her fate rather than be left without her and eats the fruit also.after eating they are aroused with lust and lay together,then fall to restless sleep.they waken to awareness of their nakedness and shame and cover themselves with leaves.in their emotional distress,they fall into mutual accusation and blame.
Conclusion:
To sum up,John Milton`s Paradise Lost is a poem about the disobedience of human being of the god.due to trick of the serpant adam and eve ate the fruit of forbidden but resulted with suffering and pain of death.so over all with regional background Milton presents a very fine specimen of his literary art.
