Milton’s Humanity : Dreams vs. Reality
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper which examines the tension that exists in John Milton’s works in regards to humanities dreams, which involve pure spirituality, and the reality, which involves the gross and decayed. For the most part, Milton provides the tension by illustrating how God is pure and man is involved in a constant struggle to exist in that purity, but with no lick, due to the fact that God has placed us in this essentially evil and vile world so that we may suffer and dream of the greatness of God. The works examined are “Of Education,” “Areopagitica,” and “Lycidas.” Bibliography lists 3 sources.
