Also, the number of times Milton reminds us eve is inferior to adam even before the fall is giving insecurity. The way he needs to remind us eve is a hot sexy lady but not to be trusted because she’s an idiot woman and adam is a hot sexy strong capable man is weird. I could not keep a straight face sometimes.

Otherwise, really great prose obviously. I can understand why some call this the best work of the English language. Milton knows how to write a sweet quote as well. 7.5/10.
