Description | We have been studying Milton’s Paradise Lost. Earlier epics were Dante’s Inferno or Write a well-developed essay of 4-6 paragraphs on ONE of the topics below. Be sure to refer to the texts to support your main ideas. In the beginning of Book IX, Milton claims his subject is “Not less but more heroic” (14) than any of his epic predecessors. Discuss what Milton considers “heroic.” What would Milton make of some of the earlier epic heroes that we have encountered? A hint on this one: don’t fall into the trap of considering Satan as the hero; he tries to act and sound like one but really provides a false example of the “heroic” (and you could use those false definitions to help you identify, by contrast, true definitions of what Milton means by “heroic”). How are Adam and maybe even Eve examples of a new kind of hero? |
