HBM - Pardise Lost 9-10

Today we finish our discussion of Milton's Paradise Lost with a close examination of Books 9-10. Along the way we'll look at Satan's last chance to make peace with God, his rhetorical strategies to convince Eve to fall, and Milton's relentlessly debilitating portrayal of Eve herself. It's rough, folks. We won't go on to examine Books 11-12, where Milton summarizes the rest of the Bible and concludes with the promise of Christ's salvation - but instead we'll spend the next week discussing William Blake and his interpretation of Milton's poetry and theology.
