Milton's Naïve Eve

Introduction

Paradise Lost is an epic poen written by John Milton. It chronologize the theories of Satan, and the banishment of mankind from the heaven, and finally finishes with some wish for a paradise regained. At first glimpse, it appears to be two epics rolled into one. The publication starts right away introducing us to the would be protagonist, Satan, up against an indomitable force, God. We are made to sympathise with Satan's plight and almost admire him or wish for his success. There is a certain excitement and allure to Satan and even to Hell.

Therefore, Milton finds essential to recount the drop of Satan, before that of Adam and Eve, and the influence it has had on history. Although this is his individual supplement to the account recounted in the Holy Bible, Milton values it to convey into clues the limitations of the human mind.
