About
This program provides a rigorous analysis of Book X of John Milton's Paradise Lost, designed for students preparing for advanced English Literature examinations. We examine the critical shifts following the Fall, starting with the divine judgment pronounced by the Son and the subsequent entrance of Sin and Death into the world. The course analyzes the psychological complexity of Adam's despair, the dynamics of his reconciliation with Eve, and the ironic transition of the fallen angels in Pandemonium. Through a thematic and technical lens, participants will master Milton's use of epic similes, blank verse, and theodicy as presented in this pivotal book.
