The Dynamic Transformation of Adam and EveAfter reading Milton's Paradise Lost and the Book of Genesis, I noticed some similarities and many differences. Although many of the characters' names and personalities are similar, the points of view in which these stories were written differ. For example, in Milton's Paradise Lost, the reader is able to actually see what the characters are thinking and why they do things, whereas in The Book of Genesis, the characters' actions are unpredictable. Another difference I noticed is that in the Bible the source of sin begins directly from the birth of Eve and the reasons for the creation of man and woman. Whereas in Milton's Paradise Lost, the author starts from the establishment of Satan: “Who first seduced them to this vile revolt? The Infernal Serpent; it was he, whose cunning excited by envy and vengeance, deceived the Mother of humanity, at what hour his pride had driven him from heaven, with all his army of rebellious angels” (33-38 ). The author refers the source of sin to Satan: “Milton accepts and insists on the challenge that the fall must be made credible – and acceptable – by a dramatic representation addressed to human reasoning” (Bowers 264-273). These two stories illustrate humanity and God's formation of the Earth, but in contrasting ways. By comparing these two literary stories, the reader can see that they were written from two different points of view. For example, when Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate the fruit of the tree. In the book of Genesis, the reader is told that Adam and Ever were together when Eve faced the temptation to eat the fruit of the forbidden tree. So she was not alone when she was tempted by the Serpent. In Milton's Lost Paradise version...... middle of paper ...... illustrate humanity and God's formation of the earth, but in contrasting ways.
