- Abstract
Through his most controversial yet prominent Epic titled "Paradise Lost" (1667), John Milton, the renowned English intellect and writer, addresses the ideology of free will and questions the existing hegemony of supreme power and dominance. It was written when people mindlessly followed the Church and the rules of the Monarch and, in utmost fear, paid heed to all the rules and norms that existed in society, ultimately leading to nothing more than a simple and unnoticed death. This research will also discuss the purpose of having a choice and how it all began initially. The character of the 'fallen angel' and how he is not seen as a pessimist but a transforming being moulded under the circumstances laid for him. This perspective will be analyzed thoroughly, and the way Milton takes a stand for Satan to give us readers a whole new angle of interpretation will also be dwelt upon and further examined in this paper. Moreover, his futuristic thinking and how his Epic still holds a firm ground in today's contemporary world will also be reviewed to highlight the necessity of such revolutionists in our history, which will be considered vital in this research.
