John Milton's "Paradise Lost" Paradise Lost is a narrative poem by John Milton (1608-1674), published in 1667. It is considered a classic of English literature and has given rise to a literary topic widely spread in world literature. It is divided into twelve books and exceeds 10,000 verses written without rhyme. The poem is an epic about the biblical theme of the fall of Adam and Eve. The work deals, fundamentally, with the problem of evil and suffering in the sense of answering the question of why a good and almighty God decides to allow them when it would be easy for him to avoid them. Milton begins by expressing the purpose of "justifying the ways of God" responding through a psychological description of the main protagonists of the poem: God, Adam, Eve and Satan, whose attitudes end up revealing the hopeful message that lies behind the loss. of the original paradise. In the poem, heaven and hell represent states of mind rather than physical spaces. The story begins in hell, from where Satan decides to take revenge on God indirectly, that is, through the newly created beings who live in a state of permanent happiness. T'm going to talk about the principal characters: -Satan: Satan is one of God's best heavenly messengers until his pride disrupts everything and he gets some distance from God. Satan carries large numbers of paradise's heavenly messengers with him, in any case, and reigns as lord in damnation. He proceeds with an interminable fight with God and goodness for the spirits of people. -God: The Absolute, leader of paradise, maker of earth and al lof the creation. God is all seeing, however he appears to try to ignore things further away from his light. He is encircled by holy messengers who acclaim him and whom he adores at the same time, when Satan falls and carries a large number of paradise's populace with him, he chooses to make another animal, human, and to make for him a delightful universe in the expectations that sometime people will go along with him in paradise. -Adam: First created man, father of all mankind. Adam is created a just and ordered creature, living in joy, praising God. Lonely, Adam will ask for a companion and will thereafter feel deep and uncontrollable, though ordered, love for her, named Eve. This love will ultimately get Adam in trouble, as he decides to disobey God rather than leave her. -Eve: First made woman, mother of all mankind. Eve is fairly a flighty and vain lady, handily complimented by Adam and Satan. Her weakness turns into her ruin, as her vanity drives her to disobey God. She loves Adam too, however the implicaiton is that she adores herself considerably more. Finally, the narrative space is the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve lives happilly and the hell, where Lucifer and his fellows conspires against God after Lucifer was punished by him due to his disobey.
