Kristen Over, Associate Professor at Northeastern Illinois University, provides an in-depth summary and analysis of John Milton's Paradise Lost.
Paradise Lost is a famous epic poem from 1667 that deals with the expulsion of the first humans, Adam and Eve, from the Garden of Eden after they commit the sin of eating from the forbidden Tree of Knowledge. We encounter God, Archangel Michael, Adam and Eve, Sin, and Death and Satan/Lucifer as well.
Paradise Lost is told by a third-person omniscient narrator, whom readers later learn is in fact the author, John Milton. Milton peppers his unrhymed, iambic pentameter with evocative symbolism, including the Scales of Justice, the Tree of Knowledge, and Adam's Wreath for Eve.

This woman is a damn good presenter-why couldn't I have had a Literature Prof like her at my overpriced, overated college?
Your teacher isn't supposed to sum up the story for you, you are supposed to read it, and then she/he is supposed to help you analyze the reading. Chastising the professor for not doing a presentation is a silly way of shifting blame from yourself to another.
@@ShadowCraft1195 What's silly is your inability to accept a light-hearted and satire comment. The comment isn't even about the story's summary, but rather about the presenter's articulation, which is fluid and comprehensible. Chastising a random commentator on KZhead is a silly way of projecting your own insecurities.
your college is and should not be a short attention span theater
Who else is lost
the paradise

Love the small detail of serpent Stan having limbs...
Like you've seen em
At the end, the view of archangel Michael with two other angels indicates which angels are key to his victory. One is his guardian angel, the other is an angel that is deployed to guard the entrance to the garden of Eden. I think. Also, the archangel Michael holds his sword in such a way to signal that Lucifer may leave the Garden of Eden.
Excellent summary!
Thank you for your whole summary and summaries for each book. I have not read the Bible, especially the Old Testament since the 5th grade. But I recall the gists of the major stories. It would had been interesting to have read it prior to reading Lost Paradise to background info and comparison. But I have to admit Milton made it more interesting with a more indept description of Satan's struggle against God and archangel Michael's discusion with Adam of the future of mankind to sooth his departure from the Garden of Eden. I will admit I got lost at times in interpretations due to the prose format. Listening to the audio format of this format sometimes leaves you wondering who is speaking what and what about. Nonetheless, I enjoyed. These summaries helped clear the confusion and give me a better understanding. Again thanks.
What a beautiful presentation. Thankyou so much 😊
A very excellent presentation and an outstanding presenter! thanks for this.
This is a very helpful synopsis. I will use it to introduce Milton to my son.
Please don't this is not a very good portrayal of Milton's work. Just find a few stanzas from the actual source if you want to introduce such a powerful work to your son (which is amazing, I commend you for that), this person speaking gets everything wrong.
The Limbo of Vanity. A nice name. Imagine a pub with this splendid name; That's where Satan's hurrying to chill out, To befriend the newly-created Man.
Thank you , much more easier to understand than to read the book
Thank you so much for your vedio ❤️
lol @ Satan's triumphant lil' dance at 3:39 . Such a cutie!
Does anyone know of an old prose edition of Paradise Lost? I find it hard to stay with the plot when trying to read short, unrhymed lines. I never understood the point of writing a poem without any flow (such as the sing-song of rhyme provides). Thank you for any help!
It's amazing
0:30 - I am very disappointed that you did not mention my name and give me credit for Satan's big idea. The top dog isn't everything. BTW, John Milton purposely misspelled my name in Paradise Lost. You can ask him; I've got him right here.
Shut up all of you!!! I am BAAL!!!
hey, I am big fan of your work!
Almighty God will deal with you shortly Lucifer.
@@coiledsteel8344 but I am God
awesome way of trolling religious people and college students.
Thank you Madam
What do the numbers 1 to 15 mean? (Paradise Lost consists of twelve books at most.)
I would have appreciated some quick speculation on the meaning behind highlights. It would seem vital why Satan is expelled and what is wrong with tasting of knowledge. The second part makes him sound like a grooming manipulative dictator.
He got expelled because he thought he could rule better than God and had a failed rebellion.
@@KingNazaru can you quote an example from the bible that backs that up ?
@@davidthom7127 Ezekiel 28
@@KingNazaru quote it ?
@@davidthom7127 Read it.
It would be cool if you guys Made courses on hp Lovecraft stories
Lady this is explained very well, where were You when I was in highschool?...
2:41 Did Satan lose any specific limbs there ? please it's important.
Paradise Lost by John Milton | Plot Summary - The Rebecca School Lesson
[Eve: Book 9] Greedily she ingorg'd without restraint.
And all of Lucifers rebeles are Greek and Egyptian gods
I thought God in this story was genuinely horrible. As if he planned for Eve and Adam to fail and let them suffer, only to put restricting rules upon them for disobeying them even though it was his son's fault? Just makes God look bad in comparison and makes Satan look sympathetic.
Because he is
God is not bad and does not have a son, only Satan was stronger than the will of Adam and Eve because they ate the fruit of their own free will, even though God forbade them. You must trust that God does not prevent us from anything except for our benefit because the forbidden thing always contains danger 🙏🏻🙏🏻
God gave us a choice, good or bad. We chose bad. He literally told us the punishment was death but he forgave us. If you love destruction, chaos and manipulation then that's Satan for you cause he polluted the world.
Are you ok?
Do you doubt the love, mercy and wisdom of Eru Illuvatar?
Paradise Lost by John Milton | Plot Summary
My catholic priest assures me that if I leave my belongings to the church I will be reserved a spot in heaven.
L
You can chose to believe that or you can leave your belongings to people that would need and take care of them. I myself do not trust the Catholic Church. Their power structure makes the religion easily corruptible.

This book is just fan fiction of the book of Genesis. Why is this book so famous?
Dante's Inferno and Virgil's Aeneid are also fanfictions. This whole thing is called imitatio/aemulatio. An interesting thing to look up!
“Which way I fly is Hell; my self am Hell" (Satan) “내가 나는 곳이 곧 지옥이요, 내 자신도 지옥에 있노라" Satan is a mere metaphor or else?

The last book of God is The Holy Quran, which has all the details, must explore that...
Now we just need Christopher Nolan to make this a film

Stories, words, pictures, and videos are all fake incomplete news. The breath, heart beat, and digestion are real. Seek balance.
Lucifer is not satan, this is not a good resource to understand Paradise Lost.
yes he is. lucifer is the fallen angel who became satan
I just… I cant… how do people believe this as like a legitimate thing??? People kill each-other over this crap????
uhh... cuz it did happen, that one guy said so!
you're right. It's ridiculous. Wear your cross, put on your hijab, and make sure you keep up with your $100 subscription to Tom Cruise.
Aha! (no)Thanks for the video(*_*) Btw Scott McQuate is the Truth!
Milton was good, but not as good as John Grisham.
Watching this bullshit for college -_-
What a funny fantasy story. God is uselss he is only clear light, impartial. Satan took his heavenly throne back a long time ago.
Whats new
Adam and Eve are vaguely brown but jesus is still white.
