thank you, madam. Like all of your lectures, this is again a gem and the best available on RUclips. I hope you continue your literary journey of enlightening us with the myriad mysteries and musings of literature.
The "deluge of fire" reminds me of the opening stanzas of "What the Thunder Said" from "Eliot's The Waste Land." Eliot's definitely weaving imagery from Dante, Milton, Shakespeare, and Stoker into a poetic nightmare.
I'm guessing there's no dependence in either direction between Milton's "Infernal Serpent" and Shakespeare's "rugged Russian bear, arm'd rhinoceros, or hyrcan tiger," but then you have Blake's "great red dragon." It is as if the growling sound of the Alveolar Approximant (I assume that's the "r" the three authors are using, but it could be one of other types of "r" heard in the British Isles) triggers a primal response, despite that sound not being in words like: Satan, Devil, Diabolus, Beelzebub, demon, Moloch, Hades, etc.
Question about "Nine Times the space that measures day and night," ma'am. In Milton's time, the furthest known planet from the sun would be Saturn, which is nine and a half astronomical units away from the sun. It's not beyond the fixed stars (which would be 2.537 million light years, if you consider the Andromeda galaxy to be the marker, being the farthest thing visible at night without a telescope), but it is outside the solar system as measured by Milton's day. Do you know if Milton was making a deliberate astronomical reference to Saturn's orbit, which is nine (and a half) times as far away from the sun as the Earth is, or if he just meant to say "really far away," but more poetically? Alternatively... since night and day is caused by the rotation of the Earth (40,075 km at its circumference) and the Moon is 384,400 km away from the Earth (again, closer to nine and a half times than to a straight nine), is that where Milton is placing Inferno?
The infernal serpent reminds me of the castle of Macbeth Inverness that was also ironically likely to Hell.... I have one question from line 48-49...if God threw Lucifer and the rebel angels down to a bottomless ruin then how was Satan bound up by the Adamantine chains? He surely needed a concrete place for that, please guide ma'am.
But it seems you don't have time . I am making preparation for my interview and my favorite area is poetry in which I will have to study different poets please I have very short time and it is only you who can make me understand
Everyone was silent after entering the hall. Since they are all fallen angels so their silence is "horrid". Moreover, since they have evil thoughts of revenge in mind so their silence is horrid. Thus began means the meeting starts.
@@NibblePop thank you ma'am. Aslo, ma'am can you suggest some website or book where we can go through the translation of the parts that are not covered in book 1?
If Milton does mean the north pole, we're looking at just over 1301 lightyears away, given the current distance between the average orbit of Earth and the position of Polaris. Milton *probably* didn't literally mean the pole star, but it's possible.
Mem pls I need ur hlp.....regarding the question-Why satan is called the infernal serpant ?for mark 2....pls my xmm is about on 23rd march....plz hlp me....🙏🙏
The word inferno means "hell". Because of Satan's temptation of mankind, leading to their fall from Eden, Satan was cursed by God and turned to a serpent. Therefore, Satan is referred to as "infernal serpent". The phrase also shows that, for a Puritan like Milton, Satan is the ultimate symbol of evil. The use of the word infernal is also interesting because it is derived from Dante's inferno, a classical work that inspired Milton to a great extent.
@@maxgalstaun It's ok Max. Let's not discourage kids. Most of the time they are first generation learners. The standard of english at school level is often deplorable. I am sure he will improve. The best thing is that he has decided to actually watch an academic video and chosen to interact. It is more important to have the correct attitude to learning. Grammar and spelling will follow suit.
Madam you mentioned " Milton is talking to the heavenly muse , urania ". But madam isn't Urania a Greek goddess ? , so how can she be regarded as heavenly muse madam ? And Madam , you said Milton isn't accepting any literary works as the source of this epic . madam can't I say that he is trying to say that God himself is telling everything ,and the source of the epic is God himself .Milton is just a medium. since he said God's voice is the muse of his work, so can't I say this madam ?
Milton mentions the name Urania in his seventh book and he quickly adds that Urania is more of a metaphor than an actual name. Urania means muse in general for Milton. Amra jemon boli je "or opor soroswoti bhor koreche", othoba "rege giye rudro murti dharon korlo". Just like that. Milton considers himself as a medium of divine voice.
Madam, I have already been very much grateful to you lately, since I have started teaching myself through your excellent presentations/teaching. I wish I had a teacher like you who would have been as brilliantly benevolent as you are..... Ma'am, Since I count you as my mentor with superior value and your benevolence is greater, I am at a loss here counting upon you to get me out of some depression. Since my exam is knocking at door and I have got a series of texts to deal with, I am relying on your lecture totally to achieve good grades, but for a text specially Paradise Lost Book - 1, I do not think I can make a justice . It is an opportunity to have your teaching to sharpen my thoughts and understanding. Ma'am, I am actually wanting to make a printed notes of the PPT/PDF you show in the video. Ma'am, I know how much pain you have gone through to make one, but I am at your mercy, Ma'am. I am your pupil here, Begging for it, from your ladyship. At your mercy, Ma'am, Paradise Lost Book -1 (PDF/PPT) E-mail : bjsabbir@gmail.com 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

He would have needed a concrete place if the chains and his body were concrete, but this is spiritual bondage
Ok ma'am I get that.
Mam please one lecture on Shelley as poet of nature!!!!!!!
But it seems you don't have time . I am making preparation for my interview and my favorite area is poetry in which I will have to study different poets please I have very short time and it is only you who can make me understand
Ma'am I have a question . Did Milton want to compare his life with the satan in some way?
Yes, and in doing so he was possibly trying to find where he went wrong and why he is suffering hell
@@NibblePop okay . Thank you ma'am
what is the meaning of the last line, 'breaking the horrid silence thus began' ?
Everyone was silent after entering the hall. Since they are all fallen angels so their silence is "horrid". Moreover, since they have evil thoughts of revenge in mind so their silence is horrid. Thus began means the meeting starts.
@@NibblePop thank you ma'am. Aslo, ma'am can you suggest some website or book where we can go through the translation of the parts that are not covered in book 1?
Mam you have any questions on paradise lost mcq types
Mam, in 28.50, please explain the significance of the pole or something like that what you said again.
If Milton does mean the north pole, we're looking at just over 1301 lightyears away, given the current distance between the average orbit of Earth and the position of Polaris. Milton *probably* didn't literally mean the pole star, but it's possible.

@@NibblePop yes I agree. Taken your advice.
