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.

Satan as Hero: Paradise Lost
Termed the “Satanist controversy,” one of the great questions of the text is whether Satan is in fact a hero, like those found in the great Greek epics (Achilles, Odysseus, etc.) or a villain. I personally presented this paper and fielded questions at the Sigma Tau Delta National Research Conference.
Is Satan a hero
Satan is the hero of John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost. As the epic's central and dominating figure, Satan possesses extraordinary qualities of courage, leadership, intelligence, and determination. Though he fell from heaven due to his pride, Satan maintains an optimistic and defiant spirit in his struggle to regain status against God. These heroic traits make Satan a Hellenic rather than Hebraic hero, as he obtains glory through defiance rather than submission to morality.
Aristotle's concept of Tragic hero
The document summarizes Aristotle's views on tragic heroes and the elements of tragedy. According to Aristotle, the ideal tragic hero is of high birth and essentially good, but makes an error in judgment that leads to their downfall, arousing pity and fear in the audience. The hero must also be appropriate to their station, true to life, and act consistently in character. Aristotle's views provided guidelines for later playwrights, though some elements like the hero's morality have been challenged.
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.

Paradise lost
John Milton's 17th century epic poem Paradise Lost is considered an epic work according to the characteristics defined by Aristotle. As a blind Puritan poet, Milton retells the biblical stories of the fall of man and Satan's rebellion against God using supernatural elements. The poem features a variety of characters including God, Christ, the angels Raphael and Michael, the devil Satan, and the first humans Adam and Eve. Through its exploration of humanity's disobedience and redemption, the poem addresses profound themes in a style that combines grandeur and sublimity.
To justify the ways of god to men
This phrase "To Justify the Ways of God to Men" comes from John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost. In the opening lines, Milton says he will "justify the ways of God to men," meaning he will explain God's nature of turning everything from bad to good. For example, God created humans to replace fallen angels and sent Jesus to redeem humanity. The phrase refers to explaining God's providence and justice in allowing evil and hardship. It is most commonly used in literary contexts to describe fate or destiny in relation to God's will.

Sir Philip Sidney's Apology for Poetry is a seminal work of Renaissance literary theory that defends the value and importance of poetry. Sidney argues that poetry is superior to other fields like philosophy and history in its ability to teach virtue and move people to moral action. He addresses common criticisms of poetry, such as that it is frivolous or promotes vice, and counters that poetry holds a long tradition of being valued for its ability to inspire.

Diglossia
Diglossia refers to a stable language situation where two varieties of the same language are used by a language community. The high variety (H) has prestige and is used for formal, written communication while the low variety (L) lacks prestige and is used for informal, spoken communication. Some key aspects of diglossia include the high variety having prestige, a literary heritage, acquisition through formal education, standardization, a simpler grammar in the low variety, differing lexicons between the varieties, and the high variety having a divergent sound system from the low variety.
Bilingualism
Bilingualism refers to using two languages fluently like a native speaker. There are different types of bilingualism including additive bilingualism which occurs when a second language is learned in addition to the first, and subtractive bilingualism where the first language is replaced by the second. Early bilingualism can be simultaneous, where two languages are learned from birth, or successive where a second language is learned after partially acquiring the first language in early childhood. Late bilingualism refers to learning a second language after age 6 or 7, especially in adolescence or adulthood. Passive bilingualism means understanding a second language without speaking it. Learning a second language provides cognitive benefits for children and promotes empathy, cultural understanding,
Social Control
Social control refers to the ways in which social order is maintained in a society. There are various means of social control, including belief, propaganda, intellectual thinking, codes of conduct, administration, and social suggestion. Belief and following social codes are powerful methods of social control, as violating codes results in social punishment. Propaganda through media like press and radio increases social control when direct contact is difficult. Intellectual thinking makes people aware of social punishments for violating codes. Administration enforces codes through punitive powers. Social suggestion operates subconsciously through suggestions from leaders.
Constitutional Development of Pakistan since 1947 to the Present !
Pakistan adopted an interim constitution based on the Government of India Act of 1935 after its creation in 1947. Quaid-e-Azam sought to establish a permanent constitution but faced many challenges. The Objectives Resolution of 1949 established Pakistan as a democratic Islamic republic. The Constitution of 1956 established Pakistan as an Islamic republic with a parliamentary system. However, it was abrogated in 1958. Subsequent constitutions in 1962 and 1973 established different systems of government and amended Islamic provisions, but the 1973 constitution remains in place today despite several amendments.

Designing and Administering The Benefits by Mahnoor
This document provides an overview of employee benefits, including legally required benefits, health insurance, retirement plans, insurance, paid time off, and employee services. It discusses designing an effective benefits strategy by determining the benefits mix, amount, and flexibility. The benefits package should align with compensation strategy and consider total compensation, organizational objectives, and workforce characteristics. Benefits are administered by HR with support from managers. Flexible benefits plans allow employees to choose options that fit their needs. Challenges include adverse selection and employees making poor choices. Effective communication of benefits is also important.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Hero of paradise lost
- 1. Hero of Paradise Lost
- 2. Satan as the Hero • People refer to his ACTIONS : He challenges the authority of GOD by revolting against him ,
- 3. • They refer to his SPEECHES. "AWAKE,ARISE OR BE FOREVER FALLEN" "AND COURAGE NEVER TO SUBMIT OR YIELD" "BETTER TO REIGN IN THE HELL,THAN SERVE IN THE HEAVEN"
- 4. • He also plans to take revenge from GOD by causing the fall of man from heaven. • He struggles to overcome his doubts and weaknesses and accomplishes the goal of corrupting Human kind .
- 5. According to my Views: • Satan is not the hero , ADAM is the Hero . • Satan's character changes.
- 6. According to Aristotle : • Hero must have hamartia -It is not Satan, it is ADAM who has hamartia. • Hero must be a human being- Satan is super natural being,So he is not the hero.
- 7. In Tragedy • Hero in most of the cases dies • If ADAM doesn't die, he is expell from the heaven and this is more than that.
- 8. • A hero never degrades. • But Satan degrades and is fallen not only from heaven but in our views as well,So satan is not the hero . • Hero is a person who fights for a noble cause. • Satan is fighting for getting ADAM out of heaven.
- 9. Subject of Paradise Lost is "The fall of men from heaven" due to his 1st disobedience. Subject is not the fall of Satan ,So Satan is not the Hero , Adam is the Hero.
- 10. • People think that Adam doesn't show bravery so he is not the hero but actually he has not given the chance of doing so. • Satan deceives Adam and deception is not the heroic deed. • Satan is an evil and evil cannot be the hero .
- 11. • So in the light of our above arguments it can be concluded that Satan is not the hero,rather it is ADAM who is the HERO.
- 12. Thank You
