The narrator introduces us to Eden and our “Grand Parents.” Satan is detected spying on them and is expelled from the garden, after which God sends an angel to tutor Adam and Eve in the history of the heavenly war that has led to the present situation. At Adam's request, the heavenly guest then recounts the creation of the visible world, explaining also the proper nature of development, whereby all things proceed from lower to higher by refining that which nourishes them.
Satan, however, returning in the form of a snake, offers Eve an evolutionary shortcut in the form of a magical food capable of endowing her with super powers. He claims it has conferred on him both reason and speech. Since Eve is suffering at the moment from a fancied slight to her moral strength, she allows herself to forget her recent lesson and yields to this temptation. Adam, unable to imagine life without Eve (and failing to explore alternatives to sin), accepts the fruit from her and eats as well.
Satan’s triumph is short-lived, for although hell and the world of mankind are now linked by a broad highway, he and his followers are humiliated in hell by being turned involuntarily into snakes every year.
Whatever their reasons, both Adam and Eve have disobeyed their Maker’s sole command, and both are condemned to mortality and expulsion from the garden, but before they leave they are vouchsafed another history lesson, this time of the world to come: the progress of sin, the Savior’s coming, and the growth of the church.

Reading along with someone helps me become a more active reader. This audio is extremely relaxing and helpful ! (:

I said a bunch of honest thank-yous on part three (3), but please know this is a great service to us students and teacher who are involved with ESL and literary education!

Appreciate the comment

[@kailavanderwielen3588]

Thank you! I have been struggling with Paradise Lost for months now. I finally understand what happened! Showing me where you were with the blue box and words and line numbers proved invaluable to studying. Thank you so very much!

I dropped out of school 25 years ago. I'm just here cause I started reading again when I was in jail and rehab last year. Well, and also cause there's nothing worth watching on TV anymore 😂

Substance of paradise lost " set of the empty set " " Man is Most powerful homosapiens of OUR planet but no intelligence, although they almost my teacher. " Remember for you all " I don’t never tale a lie except slip of tongues it’s may be 3 or 4 word in a year. "

[@hana__banana]

Thank you for this cause without you, I would have gave up on reading this. I just don't understand what he is trying to say most of the time, cause one second he is talking about Satan, hell, then Egypt, then the other angels who made the revolt with Satan, then he talks about Zeus (I think..?) Gaia, then back to Egypt, then muses, then back to Satan, and so on. I feel like my head is gonna burst. I understand the gist of it, satan made a revoult against god with other angels, and has fallen to hell with them, and is seeking revenge. However, the details are really hard to understand. I dont know if this is hard for me cause English is my second langauge or what, but I feel so dumb lol, I guess this is why spark notes exist. It is a shame cause i feel like this is a great piece of work, but I am having such a hard time with it.

[@shg9682]

He is reading the poem.

[@hana__banana]

@@shg9682 oh okay. was talking about Milton and how I am quite lost while reading or listening to paradise lost. I know he is reading the epic.

[@js1423]

Hana Pretty much all the pagan gods (Dagon, Astarte, Osiris, Isis, Zeus/Jove) are rebel angels who rebelled with Satan against god and became false deities to lead humanity astray. It’s a popular interpretation among Christians of the world, and there guys like Michael Heiser who interpret it like that

Then What had happened with you ? do you got it? becouse I am the same Sitantion right now .. I go banana coz of Milton's poem

If you consider what Satan was complaining about, it makes sense he rebelled. To spend eternity praising any being would be hell. God wasn't that great a ruler of heaven if a third of angels rebelled

[@vanessapierce231]

I read John Milton's article on the confusion over what the fruit be that made eve sin. It was a one time tropical fruit. The apple is the Aryans twist y I smell the Catholic church behind that. The last supper portrait is also Aryan derived. They ate fish or lamb, y not chicken. Bread with yeast is sin so it was a form of matza, unleavened. Jesus was a serfardic Jew with close to black hair y eyes. Dark olive complexion y shirt cut hair. God bless.🇮🇱😇

[@mikedaniels3009]

Not exactly clever, the devil, is he? You don't call out The Lord if you're of sound mind.

[@danaryan8731]

I call Bullshit, the Devil is IBLIS and he and Lucifer became one and were sent to earth, so it too would know such Blinding light/precious/blessing/divine/the Christ-Iblis.

[@taewan11g]

His theatrics are distracting for me.

[@xyzllii]

My problem with Milton is...he is of that Patriarchal age. The world is viewed through a man's eyes, and therefore, far from being universal for me...he is boringly patriarchal.

[@aftabijaz1658]

xyzllii m

[@lordawesometony2764]

Make your own then. Or enjoy its patriarchal manner, I don’t know why it seems a problem. It was a man that wrote it, how can you expect what is not of a man to be portrayed so readily in his time? That is IF it is truly patriarchal.

[@lordawesometony2764]

paul w I think you’re wrong lol

[@lordawesometony2764]

@paul w it’s funny because it doesn’t really matter if it is a patriarchal. I don’t know why anyone should care. I think the weak men are the ones who have a hard time accepting the reality of the world. Write your own.

Some day, sooner than you might realize, you will end up a bitter lonely, helpless old woman; never having loved or knowing what it's like to be loved...and you only have yourself to blame.
