Paradise lost
The paradise lost is written in 12 books. The idea of this is come from the story of creation. book 9 is a climax of the story of paradise lost.
Question:1 write a critical note on character of Eve.
Ans:1 Eve is the second human created by god, who takes one of Adam's ribs and shapes it into a female form of Adam. Not the traditional model of a good wife, Milton's Eve is often unwilling to be submissive towards Adam. she is the more intelligent of the two and more curious about external ideas than her husband. Though happy, she longs for knowledge, specifically for self-knowledge.(Her first act in existence is to turn away from Adam to look at and ponder her own reflection.) Eve is beautiful and though she loves Adam she may feel suffocated by his constant presence. in book IX, she convinces Adam to separate for a time and work in different parts of the garden. in her solitude, she is tempted by satan to sin againts god by eating of the tree of knowledge. soon thereafter, Adam follows Eve in sopport of her act.
Question: 2 Whose argument did you find more convincing ?
Ans: 2 In milton's paradise lost book 9, i find three characters more lively.
According to my view Adam's argument is more convincing, because Eve is easily tempted by satan than Adam.Satan having compast the earth,with meditated guile returns as a mist by night into paradise,enters into the serpent sleeping.Adam and Eve in the morning go forth to thir labours, which eve proposes to divide in several not, alledging the danger, lest that enemy, of whom they were forewarn'd, should attempt her found alone; eve loath to be thought not circumspect or firm enough, urges her going apart, the rether desirous to make tryal of her strength; adam at last yields: the serpent finds her alone; his subtle approach, first gazing, then speaking, with much flattery extolling eve above all other creatures.
He can't easily accept her argument for separation. but after some debate he yields to eve's argument, not because her argument is better but, he does not want to hurt her feeling. always adam shows the proper reapect and relationship in graceful speech and manners.
After when eve comes to adam and force him to eat fruit at that time also adam makes argument with eve and feels grief for their separation.
"She gave him of that fair enticing fruit with liberal hand.he scrupled not to eat, againt his better knowledge not deceived."
"best are all things as the will of god ordained them; his creating hand nothing imperfect or deficient left of all that he created much less man, or aught that might his happy state secure, secure from outward force, within himself the danger lies yet lies within his power; againt his will he can receive no harm. but good left free the will; for what obeys reason is free; and reason he made right?"
Question: 3 How do you look at divine perspective in the genesis of the holy bible and human perspective in john milton's paradise lost book Ix?
Ans: 3 The holy bible and book Ix from paradise lost. john milton proposed in 'argument' to 'justify' the ways of god to men'.in fact, he moves on the justify 'man's ways in this world'. in 'genisis', the 'fall' is narrated from god's perspective. obviously,god is the center of bible. the characters of adam and eve are flat, lifeless and mere puppet.They do not have any emotion or feeling or voice. the satan-serpent tempted eve, eve tempted adam and the fall happened. god emerged and punished all three.
In genesis the fall is narrated from god's perspective. the character of eve adam and satan are flat and emotionless. many questions remain unanswered in god's justice.
In milton's paradise lost book 9 we find the same story told from human perspective.we find eve eat the fruit was to gain knowledge to know good and evil.to giving intention is in favor of human rather than god.
