Ilustration In Favor Of Books Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained

Milton's Paradise Lost is one of the greatest epic poems in the English language. It tells the story of the Fall of Man, a tale of immense drama and excitement, of rebellion and treachery, of innocence pitted against corruption, in which God and Satan fight a bitter battle for control of mankind's destiny. The struggle rages across three worlds - heaven, hell, and earth - as Satan and his band of rebel angels plot their revenge against God. At the center of the conflict are Adam and Eve, motivated by all too human temptations, but whose ultimate downfall is unyielding love.


Marked by Milton's characteristic erudition is a work epic both in scale and, notoriously, in ambition. For nearly 350 years it has held generation upon generation of scholars, students and readers in rapt attention and its profound influence can be seen in almost every corner of Western culture.

Judgment Based On Books Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained

This book took me a long time to read. Three months to be exact. Its some seriously dense epic poetry. Some of Paradise Lost reminded me a lot of Tolkiens The Silmarillion, especially the lines about flames that produced darkness and the idea of Satan doing the opposite of God but God turns it to good anyway. It was hard to get used to the language, but once I did I really liked how Milton was able to use two meanings for a lot of words the literal meaning and a figurative meaning. It was

Read the original even though you'll wade at times because of language that is ponderous to us. It is worth the literary and cultural experience.

i just had to add this. i HAD to. Better to reign in Hell, then serve in Heavn. Did I buy it because our king Magnus Bane quoted it, bitch maybe. I aint admitting shit. Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is I cant even with the poetry part. Also Paradise Regained is not as good as Paradise Lost Why am I trying to get into poetry? ... Lately Ive been really into demons and satanic shit in general.Bitch honestly I get Eve. If God had told me to not eat the apple I would have

Interesting story behind this: I went into Strand hoping to find either a cheap, used copy of the Norton Critical Edition of Frankenstein or an even cheaper copy of Paradise Lost with decent notes. I was more interested in the former than the latter, which is only tangential research for my current story project. I couldnt find a single Norton Critical Edition and the copies of Paradise Lost cost way more than I was willing to spend on a whim. Fortunately, I took the long way out of the store

I don't hate myself so I'm DONE listening to this thing

In Paradise Regained, all that was lost is reversed. Like in the first book, Milton wrote this in free verse, but his verse is much simpler. It doesnt have the same complexity that is exemplified to so great effect in Paradise Lost. This makes sense, as Jesus arrival was to simplify salvation. And, Jesus was a plain man, not of the educated or upper class. Often I noticed pairs of phrases that directly reversed themselves in the same sentence, as in the following two examples:For where no hope

Finished Paradise Lost and started Paradise Regained. Maybe I read a bit of Milton when I was in school but don't remember any positive thoughts on poetry. I started listening to the audible version because my son wanted to read some of the "Great Books". I decided that I didn't want to get left out. I have no words to describe how Milton can make you see the beginning of the world and feel the struggles of the first people created (and much more).I don't focus on each individual word but listen
