Paradise Lost by John Milton
4.0
Paradise Lost is an epic poem, detailing the fall of Satan as well as the fall of Adam and Eve. Milton's purpose, stated in Book I, is to "justify the ways of God to men"
I love the deeper look into this tale, such as showing Adam created a larger sin than Eve, due to the fact Eve was tricked and Adam willingly choose to be with Eve than be obedient to God. It show the arguments Satan has against God, how he convinces angels to follow him, convinces Eve to eat from the tree and other details that makes the account more real. It also show why God choose to deal with the three rebels the way he did.
I loved the conversation between Satan and Beelzebub (Satan's right hand man), when Beelzebub can't comprehend why God did not destroy them, Satan's and Adams feeling to losing perfection.
I greatly enjoyed this but at times I got lost who was talking or what was going on and it took some deep concentration considering its in verse.
I look forward to reading Paradise Regained, the sequel.
