I’m not the biggest epic fan nor much of a reader for classics. So when i picked up Paradise Lost for an art project and sketches I thought it would be a slog to go through and read, especially after how much I unintentionally dislike Shakespeare, who had a similar writing style as Milton, thanks to some bad experiences with my English teacher. However the more I really engaged with the poetry and got through the story I surprisingly enjoyed it, especially compared to anyone sane would. It really surprisingly made me very emotional about Adam and Eve and a few good really enjoyable moments on just how much of a hypocrite Satan is.

Wouldn’t really recommend it if you’re not very serious about reading, but it’s still a great epic
