Paradise lost

1 write a critical note on character of Eve.

- Ans.

We find vast difference between character of Eve in Bible and in Milton's Eve. She is created from Adam’s rib as his halpmeet.she is beautiful, wise, and able. When Satan see her first time for a while he forget about his revenge. She is the one who first eats the forbiden fruit and convence Adam to eat it. We find Eve's argument are more stronger and also shows her intellect, Eve tell,
            In paradise lost Eve is quite different then the Eve of Bible. Milton's Eve was rebelious, intellect and also speak with arguments.

 2 whose argument did you find more convincing ?

I found Eve's argument more convincing because we find logic in her argument.when she was talking with Satan we find that she was not easily accept want he says but she asked questions to him. And after gating proper answer she accepted his saying. We find when serpent presing her a lot she says,
       "Serpent, thy overpreising leaves in doubt
The virtue of that Fruit, in thee first proved. "

If I got chance to add something in argument so I add in part of Eve in reply on Satan's statement.

  3 How do you look at Divine perspective in Genesis of the Bible and Human perspective in John Milton's paradise lost book 9.

In Genesis the fall is narrated from God's perspective. The character of Eve Adam and Satan are flat and emotionless. Many questions remain unanswered in God's justice.

In Milton's paradise lost book 9 we find the same story told from Human perspective. 

Literary writers, however hard they try, can't be on the side of God or religion at the cost of humans. Human virtue and vise are raw material of literature. Literature is made by made for and made of human beings. In literature, all other perspectives zero down to Human perspective. The center of literature is human beings.
