Next, I will discuss Milton's idea of the gods of old in the Christian world, and how this idea links the ancient texts to what he is writing. Finally, I will discuss
Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained as Epics of Political Satire under the Guise of Spiritual Epics: A Critical Inquiry Abstract The paper points out the intention of ‘Satire’ and inquires into the biographical, historical, sociological, religious, economic, political and literary contexts of John Milton’s Paradise Lost (1667) and Paradise Regained (1671). It underscores the poignant example of John Dryden’s verse satire, Absalom and Achitophel (1681), which is modelled on John Milton’s political
Paradise Lost was written by John Milton in an effort to explain why, and how, the Fall of Man occurred; but he does this not by reiterating the biblical Genesis story, but by providing readers with an imaginative and poetic re-creation of the story. He is able to retell the story, “Fall of Man,” while also expressing his own perspective and personal truths through the characters.

However, this was not the war’s only effect because besides eliminating millions of lives, the First World War also revealed the true nature of war by demonstrating to the world how devastating war could really be; which in turn gave birth to the Lost Generation.

Ezgi Yavuzalp 20112001768 EL 482 – Final Paper HIERARCHY IN PARADISE LOST BY MILTON In engaging himself to ‘justify the ways of God to men’ Milton has implicitly accepted the humanist goal of justifying man’s ways to men. The action he presents, if it is to be worthy of his ‘great argument’ must answer in reasonable ways all the certainties which reasonable Christians have named or felt in the story of the first human crisis.
