Tonight's episode contains an overview of Milton's massive poem. Paradise Lost reaches to answer the deep questions of our souls. Milton threw all his skills at this grand epic and has given us a story rich in allusions, drama, character, and rich language. Better than that, his story has truth; truth we can grasp with both hands. This is just a flyover of the whole adventure. Buckle up, we're going to soar to great heights.
Books I've used for research:
