| Abstract: | This paper offers a comparative study of John Milton’s Paradise Lost (1667/1674) and Paradise Regain’d (1671) in relation to their principal biblical hypotexts—primarily Genesis 1–3 and the Synoptic temptation narratives (Matt 4:1–11; Mark 1:12–13; Luke 4:1–13), with additional reference to Pauline theology and Johannine Christology. Through close reading and intertextual analysis, the study examines Milton’s poetic theology of creation, fall, freedom, obedience, and redemption; his representation of divine justice and mercy; the characterization of Adam, Eve, Satan, and the Son; and the epic’s formal strategies (blank verse, catalogues, similes, invocations) as vehicles for doctrinal argument. The paper argues that Paradise Lost expands the brief biblical account of the Fall into a universal theodicy centered on educative freedom and felix culpa, while Paradise Regain’d contracts the epic scale to a “brief epic” that dramatizes obedience through renunciatory victory in the wilderness. Taken together, the poems refract Scripture through humanist learning and Reformation exegesis to produce a Protestant poetics of restoration. |
