Milton Paradise Lost: exercise

1- Satan é a personagem melhor expandida/ desenvolvida em Paradise Lost. Ele é

considerado uma compreensível/ solidária. Teça comentários.

2- Trace a aparência dos detalhes autobiográficos em Paradise Lost. Como estes

detalhes são importantes para a história?

3- A crença do Cristianismo Tradicional assegura que Pai e Filho são duas partes do
mesmo Deus, mas Milton apresenta o Filho como uma entidade fundamentalmente
separada de Deus e Pai. Como estas distinções afetam o enredo de Paradise Lost?

4- Of Man’s First Disobedience, and the Fruit

Of that Forbidden Tree, whose mortal taste
Brought Death into the World, and all our woe,
With loss of Eden, till one greater Man
Restore us, and regain the blissful
Seat, Sing Heav’nly Muse, that on the secret top
Of Oreb, or of Sinai, didst inspire
That Shepherd, who first taught the chosen
Seed, In the Beginning how the Heav’ns and Earth
Rose out of Chaos: Or if Sion Hill
Delight thee more, and Siloa’s Brook that flow’d
Fast by the Oracle of God; I thence
Invoke thy aid to my advent’rous Song,
That with no middle flight intends to soar
Above th’ Aonian Mount, while it pursues
Things unattempted yet in Prose or Rhyme.
         (I.1–26)

5- Hail holy Light, offspring of Heav’n first-
born,
Or of th’ Eternal Coeternal beam
May I express thee unblam’d? since God is
Light,
And never but in unapproached Light
Dwelt from Eternity, dwelt then in thee,
Bright effluence of bright essence increate.
. . . thee I revisit safe,
And feel thy Sovran vital Lamp; but thou
Revisit’st not these eyes, that roll in vain
To find thy piercing ray, and find no dawn;
So thick a drop serene hath quencht thir Orbs,
Or dim suffusion veil’d. Yet not the more
Cease I to wander where the Muses haunt
Clear Spring, or shady Grove, or Sunny Hill,
Smit with the love of sacred Song . . .
...
So much the rather thou Celestial Light
Shine inward, and the mind through all powers
Irradiate, there plant eyes, all mist from thence
Purge and disperse, that I may see and tell
Of things invisible to mortal sight.
         (III.1–6; 21–29; 51–55)
