Synopsis
Excerpt from Examination-Questions on the First Two Books of Milton's Paradise Lost: Preceded by a Copious Variety of Critical Observations
Perhaps the Paradise Lost cannot properly be denominated an Heroic Poem, as it is difficult to show that any one of the characters introduced in it is the hero of the piece. 'adam, Satan, and the Messiah, have their respective partisans. If a hero mean the most interesting and impressive character in an Epos, then Dryden is right, and Satan is the hero. If a hero mean the being you most sympathise with, then Adam is the hero. If a hero mean the personage who turns the tide of the plot, and gathers the greatest glory around him from the issue, then the Messiah is the hero.' - gilfillan's Critical Estimate of the Genius and Poetical Works of Illilton.
