Paradise
Lost
by
John Milton
(Book 11 Summary)
In
Book XI of John Milton's epic poem "Paradise Lost," a big moment
happens in the story. After Adam and Eve mess up in the Garden of Eden, they
pray to God, and this is where things change. God, feeling sorry for them,
decides to step in and make things better. He knows they did something really
wrong but sees that they still have some good in them.
So,
God tells them about a plan. He's going to send his Son, Jesus Christ, to fix
the mess and make up for the mistakes humans have made. At the same time, God
sends the Archangel Michael to Earth to guide Adam and Eve out of the paradise
they once lived in.
Michael
talks kindly to them, explaining that they can't stay in the perfect garden
anymore because they messed up. But he also gives them hope, saying they can
still be saved if they live a good and obedient life following God's rules.
To
make Adam and Eve feel better, Michael shows them a vision of the future. They
see the history of humanity, with powerful empires rising and falling, and
eventually, Jesus coming to make things right. Adam sees the tough times people
will go through but also witnesses moments of faith and the promise of being
saved.
The
book ends with Adam and Eve leaving Paradise, escorted by Michael and a group
of angels. They leave behind the beautiful garden but carry with them the hope
of being saved and having a better relationship with God. Book XI connects the
perfect world of Paradise Lost with the tough reality of human life. It shows
what happens when people make mistakes but also gives a glimpse of hope for
being saved.
