Detailed explanation-1: -Written in four books, John Milton’s Paradise Regained (1671) tells the story of Christ’s temptation by Satan and ultimate victory, using as a historical basis the version of the tale found in the Gospel of Luke.
Detailed explanation-2: -Whereas Paradise Lost depicts Lucifer’s fall from Heaven and Adam and Eve’s expulsion from the Garden of Eden, Paradise Regained centers on the temptation of Christ, drawing on the Gospel of Luke for its inspiration.
Detailed explanation-3: -Paradise Lost is based on the biblical story of the temptation of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden by the fallen angel, Satan, and their expulsion from the Garden. There are two narrative thrusts in the poem: one following Adam and Eve and the other following Satan, or Lucifer.
Detailed explanation-4: -The poem is a retelling of the story of Adam and Eve from the biblical book of Genesis which describes the creation of Heaven and Earth and of Adam and Eve. This poem fleshes out this story and imagines the couple’s reactions to the events that led to them being expelled from the Garden of Eden (or Paradise).
Detailed explanation-5: -The biggest theme in Paradise Regained is Christian heroism. This is defined as enduring faith in God, belief in prayer, and a spiritual strength to persevere through obstacles. The character of Jesus Christ is the epitome of Christian heroism. Another theme in the poem is hunger.
