Paradise Lost is Milton’s masterpiece. Its story is taken from the Bible, about "the fall of man", that is, how Adam and Eve are tempted by Satan to disobey God by eating the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, and how they are punished by God and driven out of Paradise. In Milton’s words, the purpose of writing the epics to "justify the ways of God to men", but apparently, Milton is uttering his intense hatred of cruelness of the ruler in the poem. By depicting Satan and his followers as well as their fiery utterance and brave actions, Milton is showing a Puritan’s (清教徒的)revolt against the dictator and against the established Catholics and the Anglican Church.
In the poem God is no better than a cruel and selfish ruler, seated on a throne with a group of angels about him singing songs to praise him. His long speeches are not pleasing at all. He is cruel and unjust in punishing Satan. His angels are stupid. But Satan is by far the most striking character in the poem, who rises against God and, though defeated, still persists in his. fighting.
Adam and Eve shows Milton’s belief in the power of man. God denies them a chance to pursue for knowledge. It is this longing for knowledge that opens before mankind a wide road to intelligent and active life. It has been noted by many critics that Milton’s revolutionary feelings makes him forget religious doctrines(教条). The angels who surround the God never think of expressing any opinions of their own. The image of God surrounded by such angels resembles the court of an absolute monarch(君主). But Satan and his followers, who freely discuss all issues in council, remind us of a Republican Parliament.
According to the passage, Milton ______.
选项
A、describes Satan as a Puritan
B、doesn’t believe in God
C、is satisfied with the British ruler
D、calls on people to fight against the dictator
答案
B
解析
文章指出弥尔顿通过描述撒旦和其追随者的义正辞严,表达了一个清教徒对当时独裁者和英国宗教的不满。在文中,撒旦并不是一个清教徒,所以A不正确。弥尔顿没有发动革命,所以选项D也不正确。但是,我们可以推断出弥尔顿不信上帝这一选项。
