   Paradise lost is an epic poem in blank verse by john Milton. This poem based on the  biblical story. Milton writing something different than biblical story. God is not center point in book no 9. Paradise lost based on human perspective.

   
      There are 3 main cgarachar in the paradise lost 1)  Adam 2) Eve 3) satan also God . God are flat character in Milton. Paradise lost book no.9 is see the change in tragic way.
 
       Paradise book one to eight is happy story.  In the 1st part argument between eve and adam. Satire is highlight in this book. That book in not a Holly book but write as a literature. Milton draw eve character as a intelligent character. She is win to argument . She is very strong then adam . She is a powerful feeling. That is a miltons imagination.

1) write a critique on the  character of Eve.

      Eve is the first woman created by God. Milton has presented character of Eve in a some different way than bible. She is main character in the Paradise lost. She is a strong and rational character. She is a very beautiful lady. She easily tempted by satan.
Eve have a lust for superiority. Eve first eats the forbidden fruit and then convinces adam to eat it. Eve is responsible for disobedience and thus fall of man.

2) whose arguments did you find more convincing?

   According to me satan's arguments was more convincing than Adam and Eve. Because eve was easily convinced by satan knows some weakness of Eve. That's why he focus on Eve not Adam. Satan is powerful speaker in the paradise lost. Eve believe in Satan's arguments and convince to eat forbidden fruit. so Satan's argument is more convincing.


3) how do you look at divine perspective in the genesis of the holy and human perspective in John milton's paradise lost book IX?

Milton paradise lost and holy bible writen on different perspective.
Bible story justify the ways of God to man
God is center of bible. And adam and Eve are flat character.
  In the milton's paradise lost in human nature is center. God is flat character in the paradise lost book IX. Human emotions and views are center. Not God. So milton write human perspective.
