Paradise Lost: Eve, Equality & Feminism

Support this channel 👉   / greatbooksprof   John Milton's epic Paradise Lost is a poetic exploration of equality and feminism. The focus of this exploration is Eve. Milton's Eve is one of the most enigmatic and controversial characters in all of literature. At times Paradise Lost seems to be awash in sexism: Eve is praised for her submissiveness and her obedience to Adam. At other times, if we read carefully, we see signs that Eve is a free thinker and admirably independent. Was John Milton a feminist? Maybe we can't go THAT far? But Paradise Lost with Milton's examination of Adam and Eve in Eden still functions as an extraordinary exploration of the nature of human freedom and human equality. #Milton #Eve #Freedom 🍎 More Paradise Lost videos 🐍 📚 Cross-Examining God in Milton's Paradise Lost    • Cross-Examining God in Milton's Paradise Lost   📚 Paradise Lost: God vs. Satan in Milton's Epic Poem    • Paradise Lost: God vs. Satan in Milton's E...   📚Paradise Lost Book 4 | Milton's Heretical?
