The document discusses John Milton's portrayal of Eve in Paradise Lost. It argues that Eve was deceived by the serpent, as evidenced by lines where the serpent speaks to Eve in a way that seems to mesmerize her. Earlier books also mention Eve having a dream about an angel guiding her to the tree of knowledge. While Milton portrays Eve as the weaker sex, the document suggests she was deceived into eating the forbidden fruit, questioning whether one can fully trust God or reason alone.

nag pportray yung book 9 yung parang napaka unfavoring na portrayal sa isang woman
na pinoportray ni milton na weaker sex si Eve. Pero after reading it thoroughly i
think na deceive nya si eve for example lines 553-557 in book 9 na "language of Man pronounced By tongue of brute, and human sense expressed? The first at least of these I thought denied To beasts whom God on their creation-day Created mute to all articulate sound" parang dito palang na parang na mesmerize sya sa serpent na nag sasalita and in the early books it is mentioned na nagkaroon din sya ng panaginip about sa isang angel na nag guide sa kanya sa tree of knowledge.
"One cannot trust god and then trust reason"
milton pointing out that knowledge can be a "double edge sword"
