• ‘Eve is designed to shoe “Truth, wisdom sanctitused sever and first catches sight of this pair, Satan explains.

Content

• General discrimination in The Paradise Lost refers to neither angels nor human being like Adam and Eve. There can be a strong evidence to say that the paradise lost to gives birth to feministic consideration.

• What happens in The Paradise Lost is that Adam and Eve were not different from one another. They used to consider themselves equally neither man nor human being. But as soon as epic riches at the climax of the story Satan makes him realized that they were human being. So cannot be it a gender discrimination that god and his followers are angels.

• It can be strong historical evidence that Milton was a blind epic writer but his daughter helped him to write epic it also implied that a man needs a woman to create a knowledge. In knowledge anyone is equal to each other. Knowledge serves man and women equally. So it is a combined effort to give a literary appeal to such a great epic, but here Milton defines the role of man and woman like Adam and eve. Whatever task Adam assigns to his companion, eve has to follow. Here, it is a mid-time where, Adam and Eve realized that they are human being, and especially man and women. It is because of apple of knowledge that Eve eats. So on the one side of coin Milton creates knowledge and his daughter writes the knowledge.

• It was her reflection in water that she was a woman not an anger. It was her beauty that for the first time, she can concentrate on. She realized her womanly biological perfection and Differs from her companion Adam. As per gender existence.

• God father and other angels are to know it was a woman responsible for the existence of human world because of gender discrimination. Eve unintentionally brings a strong polar between world of paradise and the world of human being. So it becomes distance between two worlds.

• To realize what the self is verse than to be innocent. Eve was better before knowing herself, and feministic perspective believes that knowing about genders is worse than physical existence.

• We must figure out the main reason why women as a sex and gender in The Paradise Lost appraised properly in contrast to the traditional views of woman as infirmary where as felinity and feminine principles are despised and shown in an inferior position.

• The first man of the earth were Titans, and Eve was their mother from her sprang Saturn, Hyperion, Oceanus; she bore Prometheus the first woman’s breast that have with life on this would yield the daring which could contend with omnipotence.

• Oven evidence shows that Milton does not discriminates on grand of sex. E are so accustomed to various criticism of paradise lost from the view point of “a phallogo centric structure polarity of male and female.

• In The Paradise Lost it looks as if Eve, the first female in the world, plays a destructive role which plunges all human being latent in Adam, into the abyss of sin, Even broke to God’s commands not to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge. They breaking of this command leads Adam to eat the same fruit and complete mankind’s total descent into sin.

• The puritan idea of mankind completely changed into friendship Amity between two noble personalities.

• It may safely be said that what the puritan's contributed to the history of mankind is not so much a justification for executing king’s nation as the social acceptance of regarding women as human beings of equal value to men.

• First of all, the binary distinctions between Adam and Eve are write large the moment the come into being while Adam feels the first comes to the world, Eve awakes to find herself reposing under a shade on flowers.

• The Forman’s birth is marked by light, the other’s nativity is associated with darkness. Apparently such a difference suggests that “Adam is to Eve as strong ‘male’ light of the sun to shade ‘female’ that everything partaking of lesson light is equivalent to being away from god.

• On the contrary derived from Adam as his copy, Eve is the “copy of the copy” that loses most of the essential traits of the almighty author.
