Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradise_Lost Dr. Joseph Raben "Paradise Lost" by John Milton is an epic poem composed in the late 17th century. The narrative explores the theological themes of creation, free will, and the fall of man, focusing particularly on the figures of Satan, Adam, and Eve. The poem examines the consequences of disobedience to God and reflects on the nature of evil, temptation, and redemption. The opening portion of the work sets the stage for a grand retelling of the biblical story of the fall of man. It begins with a call to the Muse for inspiration, addressing the themes of disobedience and the resulting loss of Eden. We are introduced to Satan and his fallen companions, who dwell in Hell after their defeat in a celestial battle against God. In their anguish and despair, they plot their revenge, vowing to corrupt humanity. The vivid descriptions illustrate the depth of their rebellion, their suffering, and the grandiosity of their ambitions. This sets a dramatic tone for the ensuing exploration of temptation and the complexities of free will as humanity faces its greatest challenge. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
