Analysis of Paradise Lost
Line by line analysis of Paradise Lost 26-60
Lines: 26-40
With your help, Let me tell first because nothing can be kept hidden
from your view nor the deep abyss of Hell, let me tell first what cause
impelled our ancestors to be disloyal to God and disobeyed his orders who were
living in that blessed state and was enjoying the favor of God. Our ancestors
were the possessors of each and everything except one restriction (not to eat
the fruit of forbidden tree). And who tempted them to this act of revolt. It
was Satan (serpent of Hell) whose cunningness triggered by envy and revenge
deceived the mother of mankind. He (Satan) did this because he has been driven
out of the heaven for his pride with all the other rebel angels with whom help
to expected to raise high above to the same position as God.
Lines: 41-60
And with this ambitious aim he challenged the authority of God and
raised hostile war against God but his attempt was vain and he was defeated.
God driven him out of heaven and he fell in bottomless hell while chasing by
flame, lightning and thunder, where he was to live forever tied by the unbreakable
chains and ever tormented by fire for daring against the Almighty.
For nine days and nine nights as counted by men, Satan
with his horrified group of other fallen angels remained floating upon the lake
of fire in hell. As he was immortal he did not die. He was doomed to incur more
and more anger of God. As he resuscitated himself and saw around, the loss of
heavenly bliss tormented him, he realized the agony of loss of heavenly bliss
and the pain of hell which he has to bear forever. What his sorrowful eyes saw
around himself, there was dismay and terror everywhere. Satan over viewed hell
as well as he could see, he observed vast dark and gloomy regions.
