Paradise Lost

Paradise Lost, published in 1667, is John Milton’s epic poem that recounts the biblical story of the Fall of Man. Through blank verse and elevated language, Milton explores the rebellion of Satan, the temptation of Adam and Eve, and the consequences of disobedience. The poem blends theological depth with political allegory and psychological insight. Milton’s portrayal of Satan as a tragic antihero has sparked centuries of debate. Paradise Lost remains a monumental work in English literature and a profound meditation on free will, justice, and redemption.
