Paradise Lost《失乐园》
God sends Raphael to warn Adam and Eve about Satan. He relates how the world was created so mankind could one day replace the fallen angels in heaven.
Satan returns to earth, and enters a serpent. Finding Eve alone he induces her to eat the fruit of the forbidden tree. Adam, resigned to join in her fate, eats also.
At the gate of hell, he meets his offspring, Sin and Death, who unbar（打开） the gates for him. He journeys across chaos（混沌） till he sees the new universe floating near the larger globe which is heaven.

Paradise Lost
Paradise Lost
The poem concerns the Biblical story of the Fall of Man: Adam and Eve,and involves God and his eternal adversary,Satan in its plot.
The story
The poem opens with Satan and the other rebel angels have been defeated by God and banished to Hell. Satan stoically withstands（坚忍地反抗）all agonies and passionately strives for victory.
这个地方，就是正义之神为那些叛逆者准备的， 在天外的冥荒中为他们设置的牢狱， 那个地方离开天神和天界的亮光， 相当于天极到中心的三倍那么远。 啊，这里和他所从坠落的地方比起来是何等的不同呀！[ 25 ] 和他一起坠落的伙伴们掩没在猛火的洪流和旋风之中， 他辨认得了，在他近旁挣扎的， 论权力和罪行都仅次于他的神魔， 后来在巴勒斯坦知道他的名字叫别西卜。 这个在天上叫做撒旦的首要神敌，[ 30 ] 用豪言壮语打破可怕的沉寂， 开始向他的伙伴这样说道： 是你啊；这是何等的坠落！ 何等的变化呀！ 你原来住在光明的乐土，全身披覆着无比的光辉，[ 35 ] 胜过群星的灿烂， 你曾和我结成同盟，同心同气， 同一希望，在光荣的大事业中和我在一起。 现在，我们是从何等高的高天上， 沉沦到了何等深的深渊呀！[ 40 ]

poem thus introduces its readers first to Satan,
the cause of the fall of humankind, At the
moment following his own first fall into Hell,
Satan is the first to rise and awaken his legions,
giving them an inspiring speech and
encouraging them to action.
• Satan and Beelzebub gather their strength and fly off the fiery lake to firmer, though still fiery ground. They see their army lying confused and vanquished in the fiery lake. Satan gathers his closest twelve around him. He has heard a new kind of creation that God intends on making, called man. They will continue the war against heaven, but the battlefield will be within the world of mankind. So all the millions of rebel angels then gather in the temple for a great meeting, Shrinking themselves and become dwarves in order to fit it.

Satan
• In biblical and mythical Satan chained on the burning lake in hell texts, as well as in popular culture, Satan is consistently portrayed as an evil and antagonistic figure in Paradise Lost who attempts to undermine the true hero of the story. Is Satan a heroic figure in Paradise Lost?
The theme of Paradise Lost
• The poem, as we are told at the outset, was to “justify the ways of God to man," to advocate submission to the almighty. But after reading it one gets the impression the main idea of the poem is a revolt against God’s authority.

The content of Paradise Lost
• Paradise Lost, one of the greatest poems in the English language, was first published in 1667. Paradise Lost is Milton’s masterpiece. it is a long epic in 12 books, written in blank verse. The story was taken from the Old Testament: the creation of the earth and Adam and Eve, the fallen angels in hell plotting against God, Satan's temptation of Eve, and the departure of Adam and Eve from Eden.
• Satan, whose name means "enemy" or "adversary" in Hebrew, is the first character that is introduced to the reader. The leader of the fallen angels, Satan was known as "Lucifer" before he initiated a rebellion against God and was cast out of Heaven. At the same time, Milton introduces a God in Paradise Lost who is wrathful and distanced, which makes Satan even more appealing and heroic, it should be noted that Milton’s God is not a friendly God.
• Book 1 breaks down naturally into six sections: • Invocation and introduction of poem's theme • An account of Satan's revolt and expulsion from
Heaven • Dialogue between Satan and Beelzebub • The other devils' rallying around Satan - the
