[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper which examines the tension
that exists in John Milton’s works in regards to humanities dreams, which involve pure
spirituality, and the reality, which involves the gross and decayed. For the most part,

constant struggle to exist in that purity, but with no lick, due to the fact that God has
placed us in this essentially evil and vile world so that we may suffer and dream of the
greatness of God. The works examined are “Of Education,” “Areopagitica,” and
“Lycidas.” Bibliography lists 3 sources.
