I think Milton has influenced my view of religion. I have started to reflect a lot more about why I left the church and what issues I had with the church due to this class.

When looking back at my comment on God sending others to do his work, looking back at book 1 Satan volunteers himself to go out and spy on Adam and Eve and plays an active part in their fall. I just find it […]

A friend asked me today if I really thought God punished women for Eve’s sin with the complications of cramps and our periods every month. I am usually not a very religious person, however, I immediately thought a […]

I think this is show how the two are divided as separate entities and that there’s some sort of “entrance” into the other.

I think your analysis is completely right and this put a new perspective in my understanding of god.

Since were at the end of the course I sat down and reflected on my experience learning about Milton. With my experience at VCU a school that focuses on diversity and inclusion I’ve thought a lot about The fact t […]

I think this is a great point because are we assumed to think they were created with all of this information in their heads.

I wonder that when families get their unborn child tested for any birth defects. I think it’s interesting having that power in one’s hands and still going on to procreate life.

I really enjoyed Keith’s comment in class that Adam goes through the stages of grief. The connections he made, made sense that I’m shocked that I did not make them myself, however it fit so well into the piece. […]

Why is God such a delegator rather than doing things himself? When God has a message for Adam and Eve, he sends one of his angels to deliver it. Is he such a busy man that he can’t do it himself? Or is this s […]

When we had our mini version of the Milton Read-A-Thon, I found it an interesting mode of reading. I had originally regretted not being able to attend the actual Read-A-Thon but when we had our own, as a person […]

This is super cool! Thanks for passing this along. It’s very interesting that he would do this without making it more obvious. I wonder if he wanted the “pious” to find it.

Reflecting on Milton’s story of Adam and Eve, I wonder what his purpose was? I understand the purpose we were told, but with his message that he’s portraying through this story, he should have been doing more to […]

I love that ending! By playing with the idea that God keeps editing his creation of mankind, it totally fights Milton’s idea that God purposely made man curious and disobey him.

When Adam and Raphael openly talk about Eve, it shows how Milton feels about women. How Milton believes women don’t have the mental capacity to listen to Raphael’s creation story and rather hear Adam’s, which she […]

“Is there a chance for Satan to repent for his sin? Why or why not?” I needed time to reflect on this question before I could truly answer it. I think in the overall scheme of things, even when presented an opp […]

As we read in book 5, God apparently did not make mankind perfect to give them free will. I think that this is an excuse to make up for his mistake though.

I find it interesting that Milton’s invocation of Urania clashes with the classical allusion of Christian belief. She is likened to the holy spirit. By doing this, he conveyed that previous religious beliefs of […]

Milton might have tried to claim that God was this almighty and righteous being though his description that “God is light” and the sole creator of all life. My issue with Milton’s presentation of God is the idea […]

Sin and death show a unique comparison in the text. Sin is ashamed of herself and lives a terrible life, predestined to live with the sins of her father. Death surprisingly lives his predestined life in glory and […]
