Detailed explanation-1: -Not only is Hell at the bottom of the universe in Milton’s design, it is at the bottom of an almost limitless and unimaginably disordered space. Milton describes Chaos as “Eternal Anarchy” (II, 896) and a “wild Abyss” (II, 917).
Detailed explanation-2: -John Milton used the conception of universe for composing his epic poem, Paradise Lost. Here in Paradise Lost, Milton uses the Ptolemaic Theory, commonly known as the Geocentric Model, which states that the Earth is at the centre of the universe and other celestial bodies revolves around the earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -The entire act of creation is done through the Son, who makes man in his image and gives him authority over all the animals on Earth.
Detailed explanation-4: -Milton presents God as all-powerful and all-knowing, as an infinitely great being who cannot be overthrown by even the great army of angels Satan incites against him. Milton portrays God as often conversing about his plans and his motives for his actions with the Son of God.
Detailed explanation-5: -Paradise Lost operates on “the idea that every creature is indebted to its author for bestowing upon it the gift of life or being” (Lehnhof 16). Morally and natu-rally, all beings within Paradise Lost are obligated to acknowledge the Lord’s creation and, in doing so, to offer obedience and gratitude as recompense.
