Résumé

"Paradise Lost" by John Milton is an epic poem that explores the biblical story of the Fall of Man, detailing the rebellion of Satan and his followers, the temptation of Adam and Eve, and their eventual expulsion from the Garden of Eden. The poem begins with Satan and his fallen angels cast into Hell after their failed rebellion against God. Satan, undeterred, plots revenge by corrupting God's newest creation, humankind. He journeys to Earth, where he successfully tempts Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, leading to the fall of both her and Adam. The narrative delves into themes of free will, obedience, and the nature of sin, while also exploring the cosmic battle between good and evil. Milton's work is renowned for its rich language, complex characters, and profound philosophical and theological insights. The poem ultimately seeks to "justify the ways of God to men," portraying the fall as a necessary step in the divine plan for redemption and salvation through Jesus Christ.
