The Son defeats the rebels, who are cast into Hell.Īfter this civil war, God creates the first man, Adam. Satan asserts his own authority and power when he organizes a group of rebel angels against God, leading to the Angelic War, which ends in no deaths but much pain.
Satan, one of God’s most cherished and powerful angels, grows angry when God creates the Son and proclaims that Son as leader. Paradise Lost recreates the biblical story of the fall of man, starting with the first fall, that of a group of rebel angels in Heaven. The poem’s ripple effect on Western culture continues 350 years after its publication, making Paradise Lost a true classic of English literature. Paradise Lost has been quoted in politics, law, and literature. Scholars have argued that Milton invented around 630 words in writing Paradise Lost, as well as new linguistic concepts like the phrase “outer space.” Although Milton and his work are controversial, Paradise Lost introduced new words and concepts to the English language. It has been alluded to in other great works of literature, such as Frankenstein, and added a new layer to Lucifer that remains culturally relevant today. Indeed, Milton succeeded in this goal, as Paradise Lost is now considered one of the greatest works of poetry ever written in the English language. Milton’s goal in writing Paradise Lost was to write an epic that would capture the spirit and environment of his own society and religion, much as Homer’s epics spoke for Greek civilization.
