![]() After an arduous traversal of the Chaos outside Hell, he enters God's new material World, and later the Garden of Eden.Īt several points in the poem, an Angelic War over Heaven is recounted from different perspectives. He braves the dangers of the Abyss alone, in a manner reminiscent of Odysseus or Aeneas. At the end of the debate, Satan volunteers to corrupt the newly created Earth and God's new and most favoured creation, Mankind. Belial, Chemosh, and Moloch are also present. In Pandæmonium, the capital city of Hell, Satan employs his rhetorical skill to organise his followers he is aided by Mammon and Beelzebub. It begins after Satan and the other fallen angels have been defeated and banished to Hell, or, as it is also called in the poem, Tartarus. Milton's story has two narrative arcs, one about Satan ( Lucifer) and the other, Adam and Eve. ![]() The poem follows the epic tradition of starting in medias res ( in the midst of things), the background story being recounted later. In later printing, "Arguments" (brief summaries) were inserted at the beginning of each book. ![]() However, in the 1674 edition, the text was reorganized into twelve books. In the 1667 version of Paradise Lost, the poem was divided into ten books. He also wrote the epic poem while often ill, suffering from gout, and suffering emotionally after the early death of his second wife, Katherine Woodcock, in 1658, and their infant daughter. Having gone blind in 1652, Milton wrote Paradise Lost entirely through dictation with the help of amanuenses and friends. Since epics were typically written about heroic kings and queens (and with pagan gods), Milton originally envisioned his epic to be based on a legendary Saxon or British king like the legend of King Arthur. Leonard also notes that Milton "did not at first plan to write a biblical epic". However, parts were almost certainly written earlier, and its roots lie in Milton's earliest youth." Leonard speculates that the English Civil War interrupted Milton's earliest attempts to start his "epic that would encompass all space and time".

Which is exactly what he was doing and is the definition of sexual objectification.Īnd in the end of the day he's a guy sitting in his armchair policing how women dress and how their bodies '' should '' look like etc and he doesn't see how inappropriate that is? Obviously the character is attractive and is sexualized, but there is a difference between thinking that and just writing the character off completely as nothing but that. ![]() He's the one sexually objectifying the character. If you can't take something or a person seriously because they're attractive then that says a lot more about you than the game or that person. I find it pretty funny too how these guys talk about how it's distracting etc, like they're just exposing their own misogyny. They're not even that big and even if they were so what? He was clearly referring to her breasts too and I dunno wtf universe he lives in where those are '' massive '' lol. It's not that fucking hard to just go '' this ain't for me '' and move on, you don't need to start going on about '' hurr durr this is outdated and offensive, massively proportions whatevers distasteful and inappropriate ''.
