The poem has become ruthless God, lack of anger.Milton in the poem gives sharp criticism to the dissolute life of the feudal nobility.Milton gives his own ideas to the characteristics of biblical legend, because of this; the reactionary bourgeois literary studies put this poem as an epic holy church. Satans revolt against God, showing the bourgeoisie against the feudal autocratic rule of the revolutionary spirit and heroism, and the kingdom of Satan lost paradise and Adam and Eve lost paradise earth is a symbol of the failure of the bourgeoisie and the feudal forces of the restoration, which can by the time the historical background to understand.In Paradise Lost, the Milton shows superb art. The poets revolutionary zeal and lofty imagination made?him a very majestic sculpture of the characters, such as Satan, sin, death, depicting magnificent background, such as hell, chaos, earth, etc. His poetic style is slate.Degeneration in Paradise LostParadise Lost to epic majestic momentum reveals a persons original sin and depravity. God poem rebellious Satan, as rebellion against Gods authority has been to hell did not yield, for revenge to find the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve by the serpent possessed by the lure of Satan, God explicitly eating forbidden to eat of the fruit of the tree of good and evil. Ultimately, Satan and his accomplices were condemned all into the snake; Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden.Adam and Eve Toushijinguo, the world would end upside down. The original warm spring sky circling away from Gods cold, cool breeze blowing over, everything began to become the worlds disorder and disharmony. Road sub-yin and yang, movement-phase motor, compete with grams. People have lost their innocent, carefree childhood, doomed to go through ups and downs of baptism, the impermanence of experience emotions. From the nature of human intelligence is a sign, but also the source of human depression and anxiety. God walking in the garden, Adam and Eve heard his footsteps. At this time their hearts and God has gaps, because of guilt, they began in the woods to escape God. The loss of Gods people issued a poignant call: Adam, where are you? People which, where are you? This involves both Gods call in the fall of the crime, which lost the original given to the absolute perfection of sadness and disappointment, and involves both pleaded guilty to the people back, to restore the divine expectations. However, in questioning Gods step by step in front of Adam blamed Eve, Eve blames snakes. This is the God of mans first disappointment and sadness; this is the first fall of mankind away from God and suffering.Because of their wisdom to create human civilization; due to abuse of the wisdom and cursed. Fertile ground for long thorns on the green fields into desert, the sky becomes clear foul, filth Clear River rafting. If the corruption of human nature is evil, it will lead to dire consequences - destruction, people may lose eternal life (the endless reproduction) rights, he will out of the dust to dust undone. This is an ancient and often a new alarm. God said: The man has been with us, to know good and evil, but now I am afraid he reached the tree of life, and eat, and live forever. Adam and Eve because God is his own creation, to punish them, but also very pity. He made?skins and clothed them, and then sent them out of the Garden of Eden, gave land to their farm.God put Adam and Eve expelled from Eden, they install longstop in the east of the garden path (legendary animal with wings) and surrounded by a flaming sword which turned to guard the road leading to the tree of life.Since then, God lost people; people have lost God.Progressive in the Paradise LostParadise Lost in accordance with Genesis tells the story of Adam and Eve Toushijinguo, punished by being expelled from the paradise of God, already provides the basic plot is good, and this is the seventeenth century work, of course, impossible get rid of the impact of patriarchal ideology and historical limitations. In Miltons pen, Eve did fall before the temptation by the devil, but she is also the first to admit confession, and in the values?in Milton, humility and repentance are the Christian virtues, but also the only person able to clear him of salvation one way.
