Lesson Topic
Paradise Lost Book 3
Lesson Outline
1) Oral Quiz: Where does Book 3 of Paradise Lost transition? How does Milton characterize the relationship between God and the Son?
2)Discuss Jessica's quotations: What is the nature of God? Why do you think Milton goes to such elaborate lengths to describe him here?
3) Discuss Questions for Paradise Lost: Why is Satan, for all intensive purposes, the protagonist/antagonist of this tale? Is Satan a type of Anti-hero? Why/why not? As per tragedy guidelines, tragic heroes are all good, but have one tragic flaw. Does Satan follow this criteria? If so, how? If not, how does he redefine what it means to be a hero? Why, according to Milton, is giving up the Son such a terrible sacrifice? What does death mean to one who has never died?
4) Have Jessica look through the essays that she would like to include in her FAU Honor application.
