Select оne оf the fоllowing to аnswer in one- two full pаrаgraphs. (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. Discuss ideas of heroism in this work? If the antagonist, Satan, has many characteristics of the epic hero, and the protagonists, Adam & Eve, do not have those characteristics, what do you think Milton may be trying to say about traditional ideas of heroism? Is the idea of “the hero” changing? 2. Using at least three examples, describe Paradise Lost in terms if the traditional Epic definition and traditions. (If you answered questions one, do not use the same examples) 3. Explain some of the advantages Swift offers in his “Modest Proposal”. How does he justify his proposal?
