2024 wird – den neuesten Copernicus-Daten zufolge – mit sehr großer Wahrscheinlichkeit das erste Jahr mit einer Durchschnittstemperatur von über 1,5° über dem vorindustriellen Durchschnitt und damit das wärmste Jahr der Messgeschichte werden. Im Oktober lag die durchschnittliche Meerestemperatur über 20° – der zweithöchste Wert nach 2023.

Woodbury Kitchen is auctioning off it's kitchen contents, ostensibly to make way for new materials in a redecoration and re-opening sometime in Spring 2022 following an extended general closure due to COVID-19 beginning in 2020.

Yes, that's straight up Milton.

John Milton's commonplace book was an exercise in moral philosophy and it was compiled for action, not just a collection.

Meaning as choice. Interpretation is up to us. Like Milton's Satan: "The Mind can make a Heaven of Hell or a Hell of Heaven."

I'm glad this is brought up. I think its really interesting that Milton, a devout Christian, was able to write something that retold a story from the bible- the characters being Christian icons- without needing to convince the readers that God is real/Christianity is the path to salvation. His intention was not to convert readers, but to write! By carefully crafting PL's character relationships, the importance of faith is naturally conveyed through the dialogue between all characters.

Percy Shelley especially singles out Milton among the most important classic literature, indicating his strong influence in the novel.

At this moment the Creature appears more strongly associated with Adam than with Satan, apparently born into a "paradise."

Pandaemonium ("All demons" in Latin), was the capital of Hell in Milton's Paradise Lost (II.119-69).

This allusion to Milton's Paradise Lost puzzles some readers because the epigram of Volume II has previously quoted Adam's entreaty to God. Is the Creature more like Adam or more like the fallen angel Satan?

Walton's imagined "paradise" of his own making suggests the power of imagination, yet also the possibility of creating a Hell of one's own. It is also one of the novel's many allusions to John Milton's Paradise Lost.

The Creature inverts the master-slave relationship, which may explain why apartheid South Africa banned the novel. Throughout the passage, the Creature seems to adopt the voice of Satan's language in Paradise Lost.

At this moment, the Creature appears more strongly associated with Adam than with Satan, apparently born into a "paradise." However, Shelley's allusion might be to that of the serpent or snake, as in Revelation: "So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast out to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him . . . He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years (Rev. 12:9; 20:2).

From Milton's poem the Creature imagines himself as an Adam created by an all-powerful god (Victor). Later in the paragraph, the Creature considers if a more apt comparison for his condition might be to Satan, cast out from his companions and protector.

By citing Adam's question to God in John Milton's Paradise Lost, Mary Shelley makes Milton's epic the most important intertext of Frankenstein. In Book II, the Creature hears the poem read aloud, and begins to think of himself as either Adam or Satan.

The Creature compares himself to Milton's Satan in Paradise Lost, which he has previously heard when Felix read the poem aloud.

The Creature refers to Satan's confession in Milton's Paradise Lost: "all Good to me is lost; / Evil be thou my Good" (4:109-110).

The Thomas Copy qualifies the Creature's comparison of himself to Milton's Satan. Both are outcasts treated with contempt, but unlike Satan, the Creature suffers this condition without conceiving himself as proudly rebellious against his oppressors.

what is noble about first man's disobedience?

how we can understand disobedience against God as patience and heroic martyrdom

A famous phrase expressing Milton's conviction that it is preferable to address even one just man than a world of false men.

Milton makes an unequivocal claim to divine inspiration therefore expecting us to attribute authority to his version. This idea is repeated in book ix 46-47.

This may be linked to English Parliamentary government.

You can also link this to Charles I and the English Civil War.

This is not the heroic warfare of God's armies fighting the fallen Angels.

Cain and Abel.

Previously Adam talked to God, but now he and Eve pray in the hope he is listening.

A Renaissance man, Milton incorporates the mathematics, astronomy, geography and science of his time into his poetry.

Is this an indirect criticism of colonialism by Milton?

Is this a dig at the role of the Virgin Mary in Catholicism from Milton a Protestant?

So the voice of God is also the same voice of the Son.

They experience these negative emotions even before the entry of Sin to the World.

Milton's vision of Eden is very much in the image of an English garden of his time.

Satan seems to have become fixated on revenge against God, rather than defeating him. Perhaps the reality of his situation had begun to sink in.

If I read this right Adam is saying that Eve is not as intelligent as him. Why one wonders would God create less than a perfect partner for him?

Raphael is warning Adam not to quest for knowledge and to accept the world as it is known. This was written in the time of the Renaissance, with the the beginning of science and exploration by Europeans..

More hidden knowledge and a mild warning not to be too inquisitive.

Dragons?

This expands on the Genesis creation by acknowledging other planets in our solar system.

This is certainly not in Genesis, which credits God himself with the creation and not his son.

It is interesting that Milton considers gunpowder and cannons to be the work of the Devil. These had been a standard feature of medieval warfare for at least a couple of hundred years before his time, so were not a new or secret invention.

It would be difficult for Raphael to explain war to Adam, because it is not something he would ever have encountered before.

An individual conflict between champions/the leaders of each army. This harks back to Greek times.

This is a heroic vision of warfare, that certainly wasn't practiced in the English Civil War and religious wars of Milton's time, if it ever was.

Why send the same size army as your enemy when you enjoy a two to one advantage? Send a larger force and get the war over more quickly. I don't understand what Milton's point is here.

Omniscient God is sending Raphael to warn Adam about the danger of his fall by eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge. He does so with the fore-knowledge of the failure of this mission. Does it serve any purpose other than for him to be able to say 'I told you so, I warned you what would happen'?

In this Eve's relationship to Adam is presented as that of a Vine entwined around an Elm Tree. That is as parasitic and dependent upon him.

The key word here is submission. This is illustrative of Eve's relationship with Adam.

Milton followed the classic line of his time about the inferiority of women to men. Thus the relationship between Adam and Eve was not that of equals, she was deemed inferior and subordinate to him and he was viewed as closer to God.

You can take the Devil out of Hell, but can't take Hell out the Devil. He is now fully committed on the path of evil.

Compare the court of an Absolute Monarch, where there is no discussion to a Parliamentary Monarchy.

This is indicative of the political and philosophical debates going on in England about the nature of individual liberty, as illustrated by Thomas Hobbe's Leviathan.

I've never quite understood the threat posed to God by Satan and his followers. For all his might Satan is a lesser warrior (hero) than Michael, and not forgetting there are other Archangels.

Satan's and his followers continued suffering the tortures of a vengeful God could be considered an act of immense heroism.

This is a valid criticism of ruling elites at the time of Milton, and remains valid today.

Was this a Puritan thing?

What does this mean? Nowadays this word is used colloquially to mean a good friend.

This reminds me of the saying one person's terrorist is another's freedom fighter. Satan and his fallen angels can be perceived as insurgents against God's 'tyranny', putting a whole new spin on the battle between good and evil.

This reference to eternal war fails to see the final Battle of Armageddon and the eventual victory of good or evil.

The change in spelling interests me, as with most current English pronunciation here and their would effectively rhyme. But Milton's with Milton's use of thir they wouldn't.

In some Northern English or Scottish dialects the word ken is used as a verb to know or noun for knowledge.

Milton is godlike in the sublime pathetic. In Demons, fallen Angels, and Monsters the delicacies of passion living in and from their immortality, is of the most softening and dissolving nature. It is carried to the utmost here.

This same Sin, a female, and with a feminine instinct for the showy & martial is in pain lest death should sully Satan's bright arms.

nothing can express the sensation one feels at 'Their song was partial &[c]. Examples of this nature are divine to the utmost in other poets—in Caliban 'Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments' &c[.] In Theocritus'———Polyphemus—and Homers Hym to Pan where Mercury is represented as taking his 'homely fac'd' to heaven. There are numerous other instances in Milton— 'Tears such as Angels weep'.

[Note in Keats's Hand Text circles around the outside margins (top, bottom, left, right) of the two pages, 44 and 45]

stocks and stones: idols made of wood or rock; cf. Jeremiah 2:26-27: "As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets, | Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us." See also Wisdom of Solomon 14:21: "And this was an occasion to deceive the world: for men, serving either calamity or tyranny, did ascribe unto stones and stocks the incommunicable name"; and Milton, Sonnet 18, "On the Late Massacre in Piedmont": "When all our fathers worshipped stocks and stones" (4).
