On the one hand, Satan can be related to the monarchs who ruled during the 17 the century. The character of Satan can represent two kind of different person. The evil characters are more credible than those who represent the right side. The main characters are disobedient, and revolutionary: Dan and Satan are punished because of their rebelliousness. As an epic poem, we find a hero (God) who represents the right side, and an antihero (Satan) who represents the evil. This use shows that he Was influenced by the classical poets but at the same time, it shows that English language was not important yet.

Now, the poet does not want to write a word which rhyme with the previous one because, maybe, that is not the word to express what he really feels. The possibility of rhyme is lost because it bothers in the process of perception. Paradise Lost is written in blank verse, since it was the only way in which the author could capture his experience (realism) in his work. It will be the first time in which an author will mix the epic, which was related to man with religion, which was related to God.Īll the texts written before Milton dealt with politics (king) or religion (God), but now something appears in the middle: the man and his experience.

For a time, he served as Secretary for Foreign Tongues under Cromwell. For more than 20 years, Milton set aside poetry to write political and religious pamphlets for the cause of Puritanism. Milton excelled in languages such as Latin, Greek, and Hebrew and in classical studies.

Be warned, though-both documentaries will make you want to scream with the injustice of it all, and rightfully concern you that despite an absence of any physical evidence linking three young men to a crime, and despite mounds of evidence indicating that the young men are innocent, the desire by influential individuals to convict won out over justice.Paradise Lost by John Milton: An Analysis The directors remain unbiased and let the audience decide for themselves "who did it," but there's no disputing that the police investigation was a travesty and that the West Memphis Three did not get fair trials-were found guilty before even taking the stand. A brutal murder of three young boys leads to the wrongful conviction of three teens who were fingered for the crime because the police and townspeople found them "weird." Two of the teens are currently (2004) serving life sentences, and one is sitting on death row! This documentary brilliantly unfolds the story of the tragedy in West Memphis through interviews with the murdered boys' families, the accused and convicted teens, and footage of the court trials. ![]() Absolutely shocking and riveting from beginning to end. ![]()
