Abstract

The article focuses on the connections between John Milton's Paradise Lost and the genre of disaster films, particularly how both depict disaster and its aftermath. Topics include Milton's portrayal of calamity following Adam and Eve's disobedience, the ways the first couple cope with their crisis, and the examination of disaster films as "non-adaptations" that reflect Milton's themes of persistence, renewal, and heroism.
