Lost Paradise
-John Milton-
 Lucifer was a top
angel, who wants to
rule Heaven. He is
upset to follow or be
the second to God or
his son, Jesus. He
makes a revolt in
Heaven.
 Lucifer rebelled
against God and
started a war against
him, starting a war in
Heaven.
Lucifer gets pissed
when God's son is
given more power.
 It was a
thunderous fall,
a fall into
nothingness,
into eternal
torment.
 Full of rage, in a dark and
burning desert, he is
accompanied by another fallen
angel: Beelzebub, who advice
him to not give up the fight
against God; after all, they are
immortal, only God can kill
them.
 But God did not kill
them, Satan can not
handle the loss, so he
started thinking in a new
plan to ruin the most
precious creation of
God.
Satan offers to cross
the abyss and find
Earth alone. As he
leaves Hell he meets
his children, Sin and
Death, who follow
him and build a
bridge from Hell to
Earth.
 That is why Satan
summons his troops of
fallen angels and fills them
with courage. With
incredible speed, they
build a magnificent castle:
the pandemonium. There,
Satan forms his court.
God predicts that
Satan will corrupt
humans, and the
Son offers to
sacrifice himself
for humanity’s
sake.
 Satan travels
past Chaos and
Night and finds
Earth. He
pretends to be
a cherub and
sneaks past the
angelic guard.
 Satan enters
Paradise and its
beauty causes
him painful envy,
but he resolves
to bring evil out
of God’s
goodness.
Satan sees Adam and
Eve, the first humans,
and overhears them
discussing God’s
commandment
forbidding them from
eating the fruit of the
Tree of Knowledge.
 From heaven, God
observes his creation.
At his right is his Son,
and they both watch
the first human couple,
Adam and Eve, walking
through paradise, and
they also watch Satan
approaching.
 Meanwhile, Uriel has
seen Satan sneaking
into paradise and
warns Gabriel, who is
in charge of watching
over him, about it. The
two archangels search
for the demon.
 That night Adam
and Eve have
innocent sex and
fall asleep, and
Satan turns into a
turtle whispering
to Eve.
 Finally they find him
in The angels expose
him, Satan
immediately takes on
his original form and
wages an ironic
verbal battle with
them.
Terrified, Eve wakes up
and tells Adam her
nightmare. He looked
like an angel, she
accompanied him, and
in front of her, he ate a
fruit from the tree of
knowledge, then he
offered her to eat it.
 To ensure the
couple’s free will,
God sends the
angel Raphael to
warn Adam and
Eve about Satan.
Raphael tells him that
Satan has rebelled
against God, eaten up
by envy for his Son.
Satan succeeded in
convincing great
masses of angels.
 Following an argument
between Satan and one of
the angels loyal to God, a
battle ensued between the
two enemy sides. Unlike
the loyal angels, the fallen
angels felt immense pain
when they were wounded,
although the wounds
healed quickly.
 God sent his Son to
end the war. Riding
in a chariot of fire,
he pursued Satan
and all the rebellious
angels to the edge of
heaven, where they
fell into the
precipice.
 Adam asks Raphael
about the creation of the
world. He tells that the
world was created in six
days. Whe Adam wants
to know more, Raphael
puts an stop, he said that
he should not worry
about things beyond his
comprehension.
Satan returns
to paradise
and enters the
body of a
sleeping
serpent.
Satan think, "If a
snake could
learn to talk,
why couldn’t
she learn of the
mysteries of
the world?"
He Watches Eve work
in the hot sun. She is
surprised when the
snake talks to her.

She ask him, how he

can speak, and he said
that it was a gift for
having eaten the fruit
of the tree of
knowledge.
 He suggests that Eve
should eat the fruit to
prove her courage and
to become a goddess,
and Eve hesitates but
then eats. She offers
some to Adam, who
realizes Eve has fallen.
But he eats the fruit so
they won’t be
separated. The two
experience lust for the
first time, both
abandon themselves
to sexual pleasures
until they fall in
surrender.
God sends his Son to
act as judge in
paradise. He accuses
Adam of a lack of
manhood: he should
never have allowed
Eve to exercise so
much influence over
him.
The Son punishes
the serpent to
slither on the
ground, Eve to
have pain in
childbirth and
submit to her
husband, and
Adam to labor for
his food.
Sin and Death
are now apart
of earth’s
creatures.
