"Paradise Lost" is an epic poem written by John Milton .

The poem deals with

the Biblical story of the fall of man and the expulsion of Adam and Eve from
the Garden of Eden. It goes without saying that it is one of the greatest works of
English literature.
The poem is divided into twelve books, and it tells the story of Satan's rebellion
against God .Satan, along with a group of other fallen angels, seeks revenge on
God by tempting Adam and Eve to disobey God's command not to eat from the
Tree of Knowledge. When Adam and Eve fall into temptation and eat from the
tree, they are cast out of Eden and forced to suffer the consequences of their
disobedience. And here we wonder why God, knowing that Adam and Eve
disobeyed him, did not interfere them? Milton also explores the idea that God
may help humans in more delicate ways, such as through inspiration, the
actions of others. He suggests that while humans have free will, they are not
fully alone in the world and may receive heavenly help when they need it.
Everything you need is simple trust God and listen to him . In my opinion ,God
did not intervene, because he endowed Adam and Eve with intelligence and the
ability to manage it. God wanted to look at their behavior .Moreover ,he gave
them chance to choose and think for your own actions and what consequences
they will bring if you do them.
One of the key themes of "Paradise Lost" is the idea of free will. There is a
wonderful example in this poem when God gave Adam and Eve free will, they
disobeyed him, although they were always warned about the danger that would
come sooner or later. In the same way, Adam and Eve's fall from grace is not a
single moment of disobedience to God, but rather a series of choices that
culminate in their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Their initial decision to
eat from the Tree of Knowledge is followed by their decision to hide from God
and blame each other for their actions which should not have happened. The
tricky question of whether one wants free will or the help of God is a matter of
personal belief and interpretation. Milton argues that God gave humans free will
so that they could choose to love and obey Him liberally, rather than being
forced to do so. However, he also believes that this freedom comes with
responsibility, and humans must be prepared to accept the consequences of
their actions. I totally agree with him .As a person who was born in a Christian
family, most of all, I want God's help, because when I am alone, I can only turn
to him for some advice, from a biblical point of view. However, I do not at all
condemn people who choose free will, because I am also tempted by various
temptations which are in the world . Of course, free will is also very important
to me, because we are all human beings and have the right to choose, which was
given to us by God. And only we are in charge for our actions.
The poem also explores the relationship between God and humanity. God is the
image of justice, mercy and love. Also, he emphasizes the very important idea
that the main goal of God is the salvation of mankind, that even in the midst of
the anger and rebellion that the angels have raised against Him, there is hope of
redemption.
Another essential theme in the poem is the nature of evil. We see a great chain
of temptations from Satan. Althought ,we know that Satan was initially an
angel in heaven, but he became envious of God's power and decided to rebel
against Him. Because in this poem, Satan, being an angel, committed one sin,
God could have mercy on them and leave them in paradise. But he did not
regret his deed and continued to do evil against God. So this significant thing
caught my attention that he was not expelled from paradise after the first sin,
and so I believe that this is a long chain of transformations and not a sudden
turn to evil. Therefore, Milton shows that one sin is not enough to be evil, but if
you do bad deeds deliberately and regularly, you unknowingly become Satan's
toy.
In "Paradise Lost," Satan is an appealing and intelligent figure who uses his
powers of persuasion to try to corrupt humanity . As we may see how he
tempted Adam and Eve to eat this forbidden fruit, which seemed extremely
immeasurable to them. I think that here you can also understand them, because
when we are also told that we should not do something, we want to try this
forbidden thing even more. Moreover if this thing is so praised to us .He sees
himself as a heroic figure fighting against a tyrannical God who denies him and
his followers their rightful place in heaven. However, his desire for revenge and
his sense of injustice eventually led him down a path of evil, and he became a
symbol of the dangers of pride and envy. Satan for me is also sins that I commit
without thinking and without repenting for them and ,thereby distance myself
from God.
By way of conclusion, "Paradise Lost" is an outstanding work of literature that
explores some of the most basic questions of human existence. Its themes of
free will, evil, and relationship between people and God. Despite the tragic
consequences of sin, "Paradise Lost" also emphasizes the importance of
redemption and forgiveness. The poem shows how God's mercy and grace are
available to those who repent and turn back to Him. All these topics are
indicated above, I would say that they are relevant in our time and will always
be mentioned for future generations.
