• Write Critique on the Character of Eve.

• Eve, the mother of mankind is portrayed by Milton as of a typical womanish nature. She is frail, beautiful, clever, yet easy to be seduced. She is the one that wants freedom from her husband only to be seduced by Satan without her will. She deserves all praise for her beauty and she is the beloved wife of Adam. They are quite happy in discharge of their duties. Milton, in delineating the character of Eve,has portrayed the weaknesses of women.

  
  

  
  

  2.Whose argument did you find more convincing? 

  
  

  
  

  

  
  

  
  

  I find that in first time eve was not accept what serpent says here I can also see that is someone was praising a lot that means that someone is something wrong “let us not then suspect our happy state left so imperfect by the Maker wise as not secure to single or combined frail is our happiness if this be so”

  In this argument direct  said to God

  If I was in place of eve I would like to reply that “If God is this much why he is God and why he created all this why he created us why he gave us life and happiness”

  •           The Holy Bible and Book IX from Paradise Lost. John Milton proposed in 'Argument' to 'justify the ways of God to men'. In fact, he moves on the justify '(Hu)Man's ways in this world'.In 'Genesis', the 'Fall' is narrated from God's perspective. Obviously, God is the center of Bible. The characters of Adam and Eve are flat, lifeless and mere puppet. They do not have any emotion or feeling or voice. The Satan-Serpent tempted Eve, Eve tempted Adam and the Fall happened. God emerged and punished all three. 
    •  In  Milton’s Paradise lost book 9  I find the same story told from Human Perspective.I find eve eat the apple is gain knowledge to know good and evil.To giving interntion is in favor of human rather than God.
