Detailed explanation-1: -Light and Dark Milton also uses light to symbolize God and God’s grace. In his invocation in Book III, Milton asks that he be filled with this light so he can tell his divine story accurately and persuasively. While the absence of light in Hell and in Satan himself represents the absence of God and his grace.
Detailed explanation-2: -Milton uses the Satan character to argue against the prevailing Calvinist doctrine of his time-double predestination-and to espouse the less damning Arminian model of predestination, thus making Satan an allegory for a fallen faith in God.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the last two books of the poem, Adam receives a history lesson from the angel Michael; at the end of the history lesson, Michael leads Adam down from the mountain on which they have been standing. Adam goes and wakes up Eve, and the two of them exit Paradise, holding hands and shedding a few tears.
Detailed explanation-4: -Paradise Lost is a poetic rewriting of the book of Genesis. It tells the story of the fall of Satan and his compatriots, the creation of man, and, most significantly, of man’s act of disobedience and its consequences: paradise was lost for us.
