What aim did malton write paradise lost give answer 150 words?
Answers
John Milton, a devoted Puritan mirrored the most dominant facet of his personality in Paradise Lost. All other fragments of his beliefs, ideals and bold stances which he displayed outrightly in his work, both as a poet as well as a 'Man of letters' , grew out of this predominant facet. Milton's faith and his belief in its infallibility is found in almost all his works. Written in the last phase of his life ( i.e. last 14 years) Paradise Lost is the best display of his unique genius. So the stark reflection of such a man's faith was inevitable.
- For Milton as an individual, Paradise Lost fulfilled his lifelong dream of creating an incomparable magnificent piece of unprecedented poetry that would remain unequalled for times to come and make him immortal in the world of English Literature.
-For the world, Milton meant to display his belief in the infallible love of God and his invincible trust in His ways. This paramount purpose of Milton in Paradise Lost is also mentioned in the epic poem itself.
