Select one of the following to answer in one- two full paragraphs. (10 pts.) 1. In some ways, Paradise Lost subverts the idea of a traditional epic hero. The character the reader encounters at the beginning of the poem meets some of the criteria for epic hero, but is actually the antagonist of the work, and the main protagonists don’t necessarily have traditional characteristics of the epic hero.
