The Power of Choices and Consequences

In John Milton's Paradise Lost, the readers walk hand in hand through the views of revolt, treason, fall, temptation possessed within the heavenly, the earthly and the hellish triad. Created some four hundred years ago or so, the poem is attributed to the creative eruption that Milton has after experiencing the civil war in England and the loss of eyesight. It is through the characters of Satan, Adam, and Eve, that questions of free will, loyalty, and the hunger for wisdom are articulated and portrayed that remains relevant to the 20th Century audience.
