I really like that idea. Something interesting to note why it may be smaller is that in PL, Satan is having an actual debate with Eve and convincing her degree by degree to take the fruit. I think Milton had to build up to that moment with setting up the story to help us realize why each character did what he or she did. But in PR, Christ never gives Satan an ounce of control. I think here, there couldn't be a build up of whether Christ would be tempted by Satan because there was never any doubt. There isn't really a debate, just Satan saying things and Christ refuting them.

PL was the story of the fall if mankind, it already happened. But the regaining of paradise, that is still happening individually for each of us. We can only reach that paradise through Christ. So I totally agree with the notion that Milton is hoping to engender a personal relationship with the reader and Christ as we area irking in our own little segments of Paradise Regained.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00316943317872314677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8899091925608643176.post-8477199626733011632013-11-07T08:36:25.723-08:002013-11-07T08:36:25.723-08:00I do think that the fact that some of the characte...I do think that the fact that some of the characters have already been introduced is a big reason why PR is significantly shorter. Just think about how much of PL was descriptions of characters or their history...I really like that you said the simpleness of the story may be because of Christ's humility. I think that's lovely.Miss Anthropyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15072388281569671229noreply@blogger.com
