I really think that I understand this section better then the sections previous. I am still nervous about those questions that have two answers that are ever so close. The ones that make you upset because you are aren't quite sure which answer it is.. The teeth cringing, deep thinking, and logical guessing questions.. yup, those, I'm still dreading those. Overall I think the history isn't that bad, except are the calvins the same thing as the puritans? and if England was Catholic, why would they have puritans amoung the parliment? just curiosity.
I really liked Paradise Lost. I loved thinking about the concept of justifying evil. How in the eyes of the evil doer, are their actions ever evil. Or is evil a frame of reference. Is it dependent on the view you are taking. I think often we are biased when it comes to many different subjects. Creating this realm of evil inside our heads. Making people "good" and "bad", labeling them without even taking into consideration the personal wars they are facing. Not once have I looked at Satan's "actions" as just.. you can call this ignorance as it is, but it scares me to think how many other situations have I looked at biased.
I really like Paradise Lost too. I'd like to take another look at it now that we've discussed it in class. I didn't understand it at first but now I'm quite curious as to what points Milton is trying to make.
