Abstract

The article explores how Milton's Paradise Lost portrays Eve, linking Satan's temptation of her to the temptation her character poses for readers, while also highlighting long-standing traditions of misogyny in interpretations of the poem. Topics include feminist readings of Paradise Lost with a focus on Mary Wollstonecraft's critiques, the tension between inequality and misogyny in Eden, and the reevaluation of Eve's role in both literary and cultural contexts.
