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.
Which of the following can NOT be inferred from this passage?
选项
A、If Adam and Eve had not eaten the forbidden fruit, human being would be ignorant until now.
B、God acts like a dictator.
C、Satan and his followers are parliament members in the poem.
D、The angels are depicted as stupid in the poem.
答案
C
解析
文章第三段指出,亚当和夏娃体现了弥尔顿对人类伟大力量的信任。上帝剥夺了人们对知识的渴望(暗指亚当、夏娃渴望拥有智慧,因偷吃禁果而被赶出伊甸园),正是这种渴望才开辟出一条通向智慧和文明生活的道路。由此可以推断,如果他们没有这么做的话,如今的人类仍然很愚昧无知,所以选项A表述正确。上帝在诗中被描述成了残酷的统治者,他的天使们从来不想发表意见,也从来没有自己的意见,所以很傻,符合选项B,D的表述。虽然撤旦和他的追随者们使人们想起了议会成员的形象,但在诗中他们并不真正是议会成员,所以选项C表述不对,是正确答案。
