PARADISE LOST CRITICAL QUOTES AND CONTEXT (AO3/AO4)
AO3
William Empson
• “on Milton’s theory freedom does not expose her to sensuality”
• “entitled to the forbidden knowledge, and weak because ignorant of it” - Eve deserves the fruit, and
knowledge, but she doesn’t know how she will be punished or if she will
...
• “Her lack of shame is felt as a pathetic degree of virginity”
• “Lacking for a full human life”
• “Treat the fall as a sexual act after which Eve produced children by satan”
Bartlett Giamitti
• Classical allusion in Christian tale shows “higher Truth” and “prepare for a context of falsity and disgrace”
J
...
Northrop Frye
• “[Milton] exhibits his hero to us as God exhibits Adam to the angels” - he appears angry with them, like
God
...
P
...
S
...
• “The sense of precariousness terrified him: but, when she looked at him … he changed that word to
adventure, and then all words died out of his mind” - Adam’s romanticism
...
J
...
Waldock
• “She shows a pretty obstinacy, fells her power, gets her way”
John Peter
• “The least frivolous side” of Eve dictates that they should divide to work best
...
Burden
• “In granting his permission Adan becomes involved” - Milton believes men should control women, Eve
does not try to put the burden of sin onto Adam but he is nonetheless made complicit in the fall
...
He has no feeling, he only desires
random destruction and to cause pain
...
Reiverside Milton Notes
• “No evidence in Paradise Lost that Eve’s proper role … is anything other than “meek submission””
Diane McColley
• “Milton himself struck off the chains of custom” - masculine traits like fortitude, justice, principles, and
feminine ones like passion, sympathy and fidelity, are distributed among Adam and Eve
...
There is equal
care, Eve has a voice, and ultimately does overpower Adam to separate
...
it is less divided than the time
...
• “[Adam] puts the immediacy of personal relations above the long-term claims of truth” - in doing so,
becoming effeminate
