Person of ImaginationEssay Preview: Person of ImaginationReport this essayI have always been a person of imagination and using it to turn words into a better and bigger picture through my readings. During my reading of Miltons poem “Paradise Lost” I used my imagination as if I were there and brought it to life. I want to prove the poem is very much epic as any that I have read in the past. My examination of the poem will uncover the details and facts which make Paradise Lost an epic poem.
I consider Miltons poem “Paradise Lost” to be a prime example of an epic poem. Epic is used in many forms of literature and one of those is historical. This poem is considered a virtue and in many cases a story straight from the bible itself. I remember awhile back in my younger years going to catholic school for my first holy communion and having to read this story over and over. The definition on alpha sixty seven summarizes a lot of important fundamentals of an epic “a prolonged plot poem rejoicing paramilitary heroes, summoning divine inspiration”. The work is most definitely “extended” as it has twelve chapters making it a very long and breathtaking read to accomplish in one sitting. Marvelous inspiration is understood purely by looking at the list of characters; The Devil, God, Jesus, Adam and Eve, etc. as well as the main subject of a mans sinfulness. Furthermore, the basic theme of good versus evil which appears in epics is present in this one with the epic (sorry had to do it) struggle between God, Man, and Satan.
I really like how intense and revaluating the poem is, it really has a lot of power in it and is very intriguing even after knowing and reading the story a hundred times. I know after reading the poem there is a huge difference between the religious story and John Miltons poem. Because in the poems Satan is considered to be in a heroic role and in the religious story he is out casted as the villain and pure evil. Paradise lost goes in debt about obedience as well as hierarchy. Gods son and angel Michael goes into his brief with Adam over what will come of the land the earth and the human existence and in this you get the picture of the universe, the earth and heaven, which bring the earth into the middle and is considered hierarchy in its nature due to gods will in the poem.
The poem is the longest and the most important in the Bible. The fact that these two poems are separated at one point in time is really a little strange and does not show up in the Bible as much in a poem. Most people (myself included) don’t have a clue where this is coming from. However, the book itself is only one part of a larger history of John Miltons poem. This whole thing in and of itself is probably part of a larger historical plot point, especially since Miltons was an interesting figure at the time he wrote the poem, rather than his personal inspiration.
Miltons was writing about the world and people. His vision for the world was based on his own imagination and ideas. I think it is interesting to read that there is not a lot of evidence of divine influence at all. There is some of it. You cannot find a word used in the Bible that is a part of Miltons poem since the Bible is rather complete, it includes several, many things. On top of that there is the other great spiritual messiah, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, who became the first prophet (and later the first to die for the Church) of God. We don’t know how he got his name Jesus Christ or what gave him his name, if he actually existed. Even if he did, it has been hinted that a few times he was the only member of John Miltons and it has been hinted before that the story involves some sort of other man after meeting with his Godhead but as far as I can tell this is a legend, and there is no evidence that that is the case. Miltons was already aware that his life is the product of some other people before meeting his Godhead and that it is true that he lost his life for the Church. He had some time left as he died for the Church and in return he became a prophet who received the power to do prophecies and to hold them to true. He knew that he is not the only prophet and it was a surprise to him at that time they were trying to make sense of things after all their prophets who had been taken by evil gods. Miltons did have some other great religious prophecies he was interested in, such as the coming of Christ and the coming of Mary. There are so many things that have been told about Christianity in the Bible that we know it is based on the idea of God, and there are many other great religious and mystical teachings in the Bible that are based on this. On top of that, John Miltons is actually the first prophet, and there is another other prophet for the Book of Revelation (which is also called the bible). This is another great story and really is one that I would really appreciate as a book because it tells a fascinating story of faith and life. I would also like to thank all the great people who contributed and even contributed to this project. Thank you all for your contributions, all of you and all of the people that made this happen and helped find this piece
I am really getting the picture and epic when the story is incredibly long and explaining each individual sequence and then cuts off them and goes more in debt. Disobedience plays a huge role in the poem and is stated by Milton at the first of it as well. God put the tree there for that very reason to be disobeyed and eventually he was by his own creations due to Satans cunning way with eve. When I looked the word up epic I got long poem which is stated in the passage and derived from oral tradition. After I read the poem I could see where it derived from and how it was considered epic. I have always been told the story and had my family relate back
