Feminism of
prespective of the epic poem Paradise
Lost
Introduction:
“Paradise
Lost” written by John Milton he was born
in London on 9th desember 1608. Milton’s literary work are effective
and his first literary work in write a
wrote in poem “Lycidas”. Milton’s making a twelve books “Paradise Lost” great
and popular an epic poem. His other work is “The Reason For Church Government”
in 1642.
“Paradise
Lost” is an epic written by English poet John Milton. He is 17th
century’s English poet “Paradise Lost” devided to twelve book. In this epic
there is full of description the bibalical story of the fall of man and woman.
Milton’s also stated “Paradise Lost” written by John Milton. He is a Puritan
age ‘s writer. Milton’s character are such as no human hand could adequately
portray.Milton’s epic poem “Paradise Lost” is a very great and longest book.
The “Paradise Lost” this poem are pictured with an imagination that is almost super human.The
poem is in these closely pictures and in the outstanding thought and the
marvelous melody with which they are impressed on our minds. Milton describes
the separation of earth and water and there is little or nothing added to the
simplicity and strength of genesis.
In this poem
most important character is in book no:9th like: Adam, Satan and
Eve. Milton talked about this book favoured creation he also described the
bibalical stoty of “Heaven and Hell”. The poem of Adam and Eve’s temptation and
fall is a fundamentally different kind
of epic: a domestic one.
Milton’s
feminism is a very beautiful description in this greatest epic “Paradise Lost”.
Eve is the heroine of the epic poem. Eve is wise and able and she is superior
to Adam only in her beauty. Eve is a
traditional model of a good wife Eve is also presented by Milton’s greatest
epic. She is more intelligent and curious about external ideas than her
husband. In her solitude, she is temted
by Satan to sin against God. Adam shortly follows along with her. Milton
gives faith to women’s rationality,maturity and the presence of the
characteristics in Eve. Milton also presents an Eve as God would have made her.
After closely examining “Paradise Lost” one can see that Milton is an
advance feminist writer in a dominately
patriarchal society. Milton has actually taken on a God like quality:out of the evil views
concerning Eve, he create God.
Book no:9th
In this book description of temptation scene. In this line I present:
“Satan
forgets for a while his revengeful ideas and lost in the beauty of Eve”
In this line
our suggest revenge verses beauty and according to John Milton beauty of
Eve.Eve is mesmerized at Serpant’s power to speak like man and his reason. Asks
him from where he got his power Serpant takes him to the tree of knowledge. She
argued that God has refused to eat from this tree:
“Of the
fruit of each tree in the garden we may eat;
But of the
fruit of this fair tree,admist.
The garden,
God hath said, ‘ye shall not eat there of nor shall ye touch it;lest ye die.”
In this
dialogue very interesting and effective
dialogue. Eve after eating a fruit Eve felling instant her love converted
lustful.
Appels not
describe the Bible but only fruit describe and
Milton also describe particular “Appel” Milton also describe interesting
Epic. Satan always wants to Adam and Eve chance for happy but Adam and Eve in
chance for bad.This book no:1st first line is of
“Man first Disobidience.” When we showing the
book no:9th in this book’s first line in to the starting; “Satan,
having compassed the Earth with mediated guile return as a mist by night in to
paradise.”
Satan is
also wanted to only ambition and revenge.But Eve’s atteraction of beauty he was
the “Revenge”and “Ambition” down and he was forgotten to his revenge.
Eve’s
soliloquy are very long and very well her’s soliloquy . In this soliloquy
before the eating fruit
“Thy praise
he also who forbids thy use conceals not from us,
Naming
thee the tree of knowledge,knowledge both
of Good and Evil; forbids us then to teste.”
Eve’s
soliloquy after eating fruit:
“Superior; for inferior,who is free? This may
be well; but what if God have seen, and death ensue? Then I shall be no more;
and Adam, wedded to another Eve shall live with her enjoying”
Eve has thus
far been paralled to Satan in an enormously negative light, as the mirrors his
disobedience, vanity and ungrateful desirs. If Eve is so much alike to satan in
his negative traits. She should be very much like his positive character as
well.In eating the fruit and felling, Eve excercised her potential for
rebellion one that was not orchestrated by Satan but always was present. Eve is
potrayed as the inferior of the pair
from the moment she is first created. While it is indeed her that eats the
forbidden fruit, from the tree of knowledge ,thus technically causing man’s
fall from Paradise, it is because of her naivete and vanity, qualities that God
gave her, that allows her to be tricked in to eating this fruit. It is this
event that Eve is most in famous since not only were she and expelled from
Paradise; it is because of her action that sin and death are released in to the world.
Milton
portrays Eve as inferior by emphasizing Eve as inferior, Milton’s is implying
that she is not as important as Adam. Throughout the history, people have
blamed Eve for the fall of human kind and this depiction of Eve rein forces
many theories about how woman’s weakness and lack of reason led to the original
sin and the dimiss from Paradise. After Eve eats the fruit, Eve immediately
changes. She beings to think of way of becoming Adam’s equalor perhaps his
superior but fearful of losing Adam to
another female creation, she desides that he must eat the fruit also Adam does
so but not because of Eve’s argument. He eats will fully because he is
unwilling to be parted from Eve.
After the
fall, Eve like Adam Adam in acrimonious and depressed.However, her love for
Adam initiates the regeneration of the pair. She apologizes and her love cause
a change in Adam;they can face the future together. Eve is also glorified by
being told that her seed will eventually destroy Satan though her position in
relation to Adam is made clear when Michael puts her to sleep while he shows
Adam the vision of the future.
Eve is
certainly not a feminist heroine, like so many characters in the epic, she has
an assigned role in the hierarchy of the universe. Milton does not denigrate
women through the character of Eve. He
simly follows the thoughtof his time as to the role of women as Adam but
in the hierarchy of the universe, she falls just below him.
Conclusion:
John
Milton’s epic poem, “Paradise Lost” is
considered to be one of the great work
prodused in the 17th century and indeed to be one of the most
influential and popular works in resent literary history. Milton present tragic
and chrition epic.Feminisim is a multi disciplinary approach to gender
equality understood through social theories and political activism. Milton’s
feminism must be shown to urge the equality of women.”What Adam want In a mate
is what God bring him in Eve .” I also
says most of the literary work and movie presented man is strong and women are weak. Milton
presented confliting evidence about Eve’s character and the place of women. Eve is a flate character he gave
power and argument Eve. Eve is also
given logic.
In this epic
poem’s main theme are “Justify the ways of God to man.” “Paradise Lost” is not
theology but to literary work. “Paradise Lost” source of Bible. Adam, Eve and
Satan is most centeral character in this epic poem’s character.The God: created
heaven’s and Earth beginning of the book. Eve’s character are rational in this
book no:9th. Eve, Adam and Satan this character are flate and life
lively character. Eve is more intelligeant, powerful, maturity woman than Adam.
