John Milton and Paradise Lost

"Trhe Paradise Lost" was planned to finish in 10 books but complete in 12 books. The scane is of the whole universe, including Heaven and hall. It is in the splended voice and great blank verse. It has been strengthed by his immense learning and ornamentation. It has hundred of remerkable thoughts but in to musical verse. The classic mythology has been used only for comparison and not as part of its substance. First two books are only read. the fall of the man is not inviting story to readers now a days. The domastic theology is out of date. The war between God and his angles seems very ridiculous now. God exples the satsns from the heaven down in to the hall. The leader of the satans wants to take revenge by the temptation to the man created by God. Adam and Eva are forbiden to eat the apples of Eden , the garden. indisguise of a snake lures by the false statement that the apples will make her imortal. Eva eats and Adam also follows her. her defeats God by making the human beings moral.
