5. • Each personborn in this worldis completely a
separate component as well as source of divine
energy. The sparkle of this energy can be seen
when the person exposes himself to the natural
world. Like a shaffle of coal contains ashes
covering them require a feeble air blow to
expose the glow. Similarly, a person's qualities
require a simple rub to make them gliter.This is a
fact that human reveals himself by the help of
his behaviour and actions.

the things he says and does make him

22. John Milton &
Paradise Lost
• John Milton wrote his famous epic poem
Paradise Lost at the end of Renaissance
Age. Published in 1667, consisting of 10
books. It is considered the most famous
writing of English Literature.
• Writing in English, Latin, Greek, and Italian,
John Milton achieved international renown
within his lifetime.

23. • His desire for freedom extended into his
style: he introduced new words (coined
from Latin) to the English language, and
was the first modern writer to employ non-
rhymed verse outside of the theatre or
translations.

24. • The poem concerns the biblical story of
the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam
and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and
their expulsion from the Garden of Eden.
• Paradise Lost shows the art of God upon
humanity and angels.The spirit by which
Milton worked in the poem and what he
exerted by the characters was of
Renaissance and the spirit of Reformation.

25. Satan
• Satan, formerly called Lucifer, is the major
character. He was once the most beautiful
of all angels, and is a tragic figure who
famously declares: "Better to reign in Hell
than serve in Heaven." Satan is deeply
arrogant, albeit powerful and charismatic.

26. • According to William McCollom, one quality
of the classical tragic hero is that he is not
perfectly good and that his defeat is caused
by a tragic flaw, as Satan causes both the
downfall of man and the eternal damnation
of his fellow fallen angels despite his
dedication to his comrades. In addition,
Satan's Hellenic qualities, such as his
immense courage and, perhaps, lack of
completely defined morals compound his
tragic nature.
