Depiction of Woman: A Study of John Miltons Paradise Lost

Zusatztext

The study in this book set out to examine the portrayal of the woman through John Miltons Paradise Lost. It shows the place of the woman in Gods creation and some of the consequences of her place that the work under study exposes. The study explores the woman who is characterized as inferior and or even slave to the man by looking at the belief of mans downfall and what effects it has on the image of woman. It explores the role of the woman in mans fall. In view of the above, this work is based on the hypothesis that Miltons woman in Paradise Lost is responsible for the fall of man. Considering that our study is located in the realities of the seventeenth-century British history, the New Historicism approach was employed in the process of our analysis. It is in this perspective that John Milton conveys the idea that woman is not only the cause of the evil, but also the means that led man to redemption. Therefore, Miltons depiction of the woman transcends some patriarchal prejudices.
