Detailed explanation-1: -Detailed Solution. The correct answer is ‘Last’. Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by the 17th-century English Poet John Milton. The first version was published in 1667, consisting of ten books.
Detailed explanation-2: -When Milton began Paradise Lost in 1658, he was in mourning. It was a year of public and private grief, marked by the deaths of his second wife, memorialised in his beautiful, and of England’s Lord Protector, Oliver Cromwell, which precipitated the gradual disintegration of the republic.
Detailed explanation-3: -Milton wishes to show that the fall, death, and salvation are all acts of a just God. To understand the theme of Paradise Lost then, a reader does not have to accept Milton’s ideas as a vindication of God’s actions; rather the reader needs to understand the idea of justice that lies behind the actions.
