What tempts you? Why are you tempted? What is so attractive about sin? In this final meditation on John Milton’s Paradise Lost, David reflects on Eve’s dream in Book 5 and explores what lies at the heart of Satan’s attempts to seduce Eve to sin. This will be the last episode on Paradise Lost, at least for now, but we hope these reflections will have encouraged some interest in this beautiful poem. There are fully 12 Books in Milton’s epic… so we have, intentionally, only scratched the surface. If it has encouraged even a few of you to read the poem for yourselves, it will have all been worth it! Godspeed, fellow readers.
