Milton’s Hero: A Feminist Eve

Gender equality is a relatively new development that did not exist in society in the days of John Milton. Women of the 17th century are considered secondary, men are pleasant, beautiful but unrelated subordinates. A rough interpretation of "lost paradise" may indicate that Milton agrees with male supremacy; he holds the construction of the Bible of Eden as a clear step of rude , Planting a collective evaluation, that is, manhoodness in his personality Strength, virtue, intelligence are beyond women.

However, the problem of who is the hero of "lost paradise" has not been solved. Of course, Jesus is best suited to the concept of "difficult", but some think that Adam, Eve, Milton can be the hero of this poem. Eve may be a hero as she has to wait patiently for the fulfillment of the prophecy conveyed by Michael and her descendants use heels to wet the head of Satan. Adam may be a hero, because he succumbs to the will of God, must withstand the upcoming disasters and sufferings Michael revealed to him at the top of the mountain, and patiently "Your paradise, more Please wait for happiness. I myself may be a hero. In the whole epic, Milton's autobiographical preface defines him as a hero. In addition, his view on his potential heroism has evolved in a direction that claims that Fish expects the reader.

Considering Milton's depiction power, Satan can be said to be the hero of his epic. It seems like Milton's intention. "Perhaps because it's close to the logo, he calls it a poor imitation of an epic hero, because most respected critics have been doing more than a century.The hero is all kinds of Satan's done I will fulfill the attack "(Forsythe 30). Milton wrote "Lost Paradise" as a reverse epic or anti epic. He distorted and reversed the epic practice according to his reinterpretation of the Genesis Biblical record and the collapse of Genesis. He did this to speak about the view of the world of his Christian. Therefore, Satan can be called a hero correctly, or rather an anti-hero. Like God, Milton made Satan a tragic hero to destroy him.

In Volume 9, Milton removed Satan from the hero. When Satan noticed the beauty that the earth sees, Satan will mourn because he destroyed his opportunity to live on Earth with Adam and Eve. When Satan looks at Eve, Satan is shocked by the beauty of Eve. Whenever Satan starts to notice the beauty of the earth, even if he loses so much in his life, Milton will thank him for what he still has It seemed to remind Milton. It seems that Milton tells the idea that you must be satisfied with what you own with your own words, not to lose confidence or do something to do with Milton's regret later. Milton continued to write faithful poetry throughout his life, but Milton did not seem to have committed something that may have been regretted in his life, losing faith. In the second half of the "lost paradise", Milton said that Satan is invincible, and through God's love, Satan can see at least the beauty of Adam and Eve.
