Answer: The poet points out at the beginning of the poem that the purpose of the epic is to ―assert eternal Providence and justify the ways of God to man.‖ However, the main idea of the poem shown by the image of Satan, is a revolt against the tyranny‘s authority. The defiant spirit of Satan simply shows the proud and sombre political passions of the persecuted revolutionaries after Restoration. In the image of the first two human beings, Adam and Eve, Milton shows his belief in the power of man, and the love between Adam and Eve voices Milton‘s own enthusiasm for humanistic elements. Though the purpose of this poem is, in Milton‘s words, to ― justify the ways of God to man‖, yet as Satan tries to justify himself by posing as a rebel against tyrnny, Milton apparently unconsciously makes the devil serves as his own mouthpiece. In this part Satan tells his followers never to submit, but to fight for the bright future. The fiery utterance of Satan to his followers exposes Satan as a revolutionary who is against depression and tyranny and longing for freedom, and shows Milton‘s intense hatred of tyranny in the capacity of a bourgeois revolutionary. To Milton, the proud and sobre Saton represented the rebellious spirit against unjust authority. IV. The Age of Enlightenment 名詞解釋： 9 1. Enlightenment It prevailed the whole 18th century.
