Milton Introduction
John Milton was an English poet, author, and civil servant best known for his epic poems Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained. He was born in 1608 to a middle-class family and was highly educated, mastering several ancient and modern languages. As a supporter of Oliver Cromwell, Milton served as Secretary of State for Foreign Tongues during the Commonwealth of England. His most famous work, Paradise Lost, was an epic poem telling the biblical stories of creation, the fall of man, and redemption over 10 years in over 11,000 lines while blind. Though Satan was viewed as a romantic hero by some 19th century readers, 20th century criticism focused on Milton's intention to present Satan in diminished terms against God's plan

Hero of paradise lost
The document discusses whether Satan or Adam is the hero of Paradise Lost. It provides several arguments for why Adam, not Satan, fits the definition of a hero: Adam has a tragic flaw or hamartia by disobeying God, whereas Satan is a supernatural being; Adam is expelled from heaven which is a fate worse than death traditionally for a hero; Adam fights for a noble cause of obeying God, while Satan seeks to corrupt mankind for revenge; and the subject of Paradise Lost is the fall of man, not Satan's rebellion. Therefore, the document concludes that according to Aristotle's definition and the themes of the epic poem, Adam, not Satan, should be considered the hero.

Theme of paradise lost
Milton's purpose in Paradise Lost has three parts: 1) to show how disobedience leads to calamity, 2) to assert God's eternal providence, and 3) to justify God's ways to men. For the first point, Milton establishes a hierarchical universe where obedience to superiors is crucial. Adam and Eve's disobedience disrupts this order and brings sin into the world. For the second, God allows free will knowing the fall will occur to demonstrate his love through salvation. And finally, the fall produces the greater good of redemption, showing the justice behind God's actions.
Character of Satan in Paradise Lost
This document is a literature presentation about the character of Satan in John Milton's Paradise Lost.

The document also examines whether Satan could be considered a Romantic hero, noting that Romantic heroes are defined by their strong feelings and emotions as well as their Satanism. It concludes that while Milton may not have intended Satan as a hero, he took on a heroic role in the eyes of later Romantic thinkers.

It contains elements common to morality plays, such as Good and Bad Angels providing guidance to Faustus, the portrayal of the Seven Deadly Sins, the presence of the devil Mephistophilis, and a vision of Hell.

Samuel Johnson wrote the preface to Shakespeare in which he analyzed Shakespeare's style and greatness. Johnson acknowledged Shakespeare had faults alongside his excellences. Three main faults Johnson discussed were: 1) inclusion of evil characters, 2) disregard for time and place settings, 3) loose plots.

His most famous play, Pygmalion (1912), tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl who is taught to speak like an upper-class woman in a bet between Professor Henry Higgins and Colonel Pickering.

Comparison between Shakespeare and Ben Jonson
This document compares William Shakespeare and Ben Jonson. It discusses how Shakespeare was a romantic who broke rules and portrayed passions, while Jonson was a classicist who followed tradition. Dryden preferred the moderns like Shakespeare over the ancients. While he admired Jonson for being more structurally correct, he believed Shakespeare was the greatest wit and the father of English dramatic poetry, compared to Jonson being more like Virgil with elaborate writing. In the end, Dryden said "I admire him (Jonson), but I love Shakespeare."
Point of View
Point of view refers to the perspective from which a story is told. There are three main points of view: first person, where the narrator is a character in the story; third person limited, where the narrator can only access the thoughts of one character; and third person omniscient, where the narrator knows everything about all characters. The point of view affects what information the reader receives and how they understand the story. It's important to consider the reliability and knowledge of the narrator telling the story.
Dr.Faustus as a Renaissance martyr
This document is a paper written by Nargis I. Saiyad, an M.A. II student with roll number 14 from the year 2012-2013. The paper argues that Dr. Faustus can be seen as a Renaissance martyr based on several characteristics:
1) He rejects established authority and traditions.
2) He has an inquiring spirit and seeks revolution against God.
3) He worships beauty and desires a wife.
The paper examines how Dr. Faustus embodies key Renaissance ideals through his rejection of established norms and authority, inquisitive nature, and worship of beauty.
Hamartia
Hamartia refers to a character's fatal flaw or error of judgment that ultimately leads to their downfall, as described by Aristotle in his work Poetics. Aristotle defined hamartia as a mistake made by a character, often due to ignorance, that sets in motion tragic events. Examples of hamartia include Othello's jealousy and pride that Iago exploits, Macbeth's ambition that drives him to murder, and Oedipus' short temper that leads to hasty decisions causing his downfall. Hamartia is best understood as a mistake or wrong step taken in ignorance, rather than an inherent character flaw.
Dr faustus
Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593) was an influential English dramatist and poet during the Elizabethan era. He received a scholarship to study at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, though his religious convictions were questioned as he was accused of holding atheist or Catholic views. Marlowe worked as a spy and translator, and wrote renowned plays such as Tamburlaine and Doctor Faustus that helped establish blank verse in English drama. He was stabbed to death at a young age in an altercation, though some theories suggest his death was ordered or that he lived on to write as Shakespeare.
Humanism in Dr.Faustus
The document summarizes humanism in Christopher Marlowe's play "Dr. Faustus". It discusses how the protagonist Dr. Faustus represents the Renaissance spirit through his intense desire for knowledge that leads him to sell his soul to Mephistophilis. While Mephistophilis sometimes shows Faustus conflicting perspectives, the knowledge gained through evil ultimately draws Faustus towards superficiality and sorcery. The document argues that as a human, Faustus had the right to seek knowledge, and questions why God would not want humans to become powerful and knowledgeable. It compares Faustus' humanism to that seen in Hamlet, where intelligence leads characters to bear inner conflicts and pay costs.

Christopher Marlowe was an influential English dramatist born in the same year as Shakespeare. He is known for plays like Tamburlaine, Doctor Faustus, The Jew of Malta, and Edward II. Tamburlaine tells the story of Timur and his conquests across Asia. Doctor Faustus depicts the story of a scholar who sells his soul to the devil for knowledge and power. The Jew of Malta centers around a money lender named Barabas. Edward II is Marlowe's most developed play and examines the downfall of the weak King Edward II.

First second-and-third-person-Point of View
This document discusses point of view and narration in stories. It explains that there are three main points of view: first person, where the narrator is involved in the story and uses "I"; second person, where the reader's actions are narrated using "you"; and third person, where the narrator is outside the story and refers to characters by name or as "he"/"she". Each point of view influences how information is revealed to the audience. In the end, it reviews that first person narrates "I", second person narrates "you", and third person narrates "he/she".
Characters in literature
This document defines and provides examples of key literary character types including protagonists, antagonists, round/flat characters, and dynamic/static characters. Protagonists are the main characters the audience empathizes with, while antagonists oppose the protagonist. Round characters are complex and multi-dimensional, whereas flat characters are simple and one-dimensional. Dynamic characters undergo internal changes throughout the story, in contrast to static characters who remain unchanged.
Features ofModern drama
Modern drama features themes of realism, absurdism, and naturalism rather than supernatural elements and fate. Some key characteristics include: naturalism as shown through Ibsen's A Doll's House depicting the domination of women; absurdism through Synge's Playboy of the Western World where people accept absurd things; and realism in Albee's The Zoo Story about how civilization makes people introverted. Modern playwrights like Ibsen, Shaw, Albee, and Miller incorporated these themes and styles.

Dr Fastus as a christian tragedy
Faustus, a 16th century German scholar, makes a pact with Lucifer in exchange for supernatural powers and knowledge. He is given 24 years to do as he pleases before his soul is damned for eternity. Throughout his time with Mephistophilis, Faustus experiences immense pleasures but also becomes increasingly petty and sinful. In his final moments, an Old Man urges Faustus to repent but he refuses, and is dragged down to hell by devils as his time expires, damned for all eternity for his pride and rejection of God.
Dr faustus
Dr. Faustus is a brilliant man with an insatiable desire for knowledge who makes a pact with Mephistopheles to gain magical powers and knowledge for 24 years, after which his soul will belong to Lucifer. During his time on Earth, Faustus is visited by the personifications of the seven deadly sins and ignores warnings from good angels. Near the end, Faustus cries out to Christ for redemption but it is too late, and without repenting his soul will be damned forever in hell separated from God's love.

- 2. Heroes of the play are from Hamlet Denmark Dr Faustus Germany
- 3. The Tragic Heroes are hungry for Hamlet Revenge Dr Faustus Knowledge
- 5. Scholars
- 6. Spirit of Asking Questions
- 7. Believed in Christian Ideas
- 8. To Be or not to be • In the play Hamlet, we see the tragic hero constantly debating with himself about the upcoming revenge that he has to take, as he gave a word to the ghost of his father Late King Hamlet. • The inner conflict is always seen in the character because, if he goes to take the revenge as he promised to his father the, he is going to break the other promise of keeping his mother happy.
- 9. Had I as many souls as there be stars, I'd give them all for Mephistopheles. • When it comes to the play of Dr Faustus, we see the scholar questioning about the existence of devils and Hell although he signs a pact which says that his soul will be taken away into heaven after twenty four years. • We see that the tragic hero also has a internal conflict which provokes him every time when Mephistophilis denies to answer his questions whose answer is GOD. But, the very next moment, he gets carried away with the worldly pleasures shown to him.
- 10. Hamartia: the Error of Judgement • One of the characteristics of a tragic character is , THE ERROR OF JUDGEMENT. The error made by the character leads to the pity and fear in the audience which progresses with Catharsis. • Both the tragic heroes of Shakespeare and Marlowe have made an error in their judgement. • Hamlet after knowing the murderer of his father, should not have thought philosophically and killed his uncle Claudious on the night when he was confessing his crimes to God. • But, he just lead this opportunity go as he did not want the criminal to go to Heaven with all the misdeeds that he did.
- 11. Homo fuge! • Dr Faustus thinks for several times before signing the pact which says that he has to give his soul in return of Knowledge after twenty four years. • Even after thinking, he makes an error in his judgement and signs the pact and hands it over to Mephistophilis.
