When Rebellion Met Paradise: The Story That Redefined Good and Evil
What happens when the greatest epic poem in English literature begins not in heaven, but in hell? John Milton, blind and politically defeated after the monarchy's restoration, dictated a work in 1667 that would transform a simple biblical tale into literature's most psychologically complex exploration of rebellion, temptation, and redemption. Paradise Lost doesn't just retell Adam and Eve's fall-it dares to enter Satan's mind, making him so magnificently articulate that William Blake later claimed Milton was "of the Devil's party without knowing it." From rock legends like Bono to fantasy authors like Philip Pullman, creators across centuries have found themselves haunted by Milton's cosmic vision. This isn't your Sunday school story. It's a sweeping drama that forces us to confront uncomfortable questions: Can rebellion be heroic? Is obedience always virtuous? And what does it really mean to be free?
