"Not with that face, I would not take you nowhere," said the woman. "Here I am trying to get home to cook me a bite to eat, and you snatch my pocketbook! Maybe you ain't been to your supper either, late as it be. Have you?"

"There's nobody home at my house," said the boy.

“Then we’ll eat,” said the woman, “I believe you’re hungry—or been hungry—to try to snatch my pockekbook.”

What concept from the Paradise Lost text does the creature directly note?
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

d. Wherever Lucifer travels, Hell follows him

Explanation:

In the poem <em>Paradise Lost</em> by the author John Milton who narrates in a really detailed way the story of Adam and Eve in paradise, and the way in which Lucifer as a show of revenge against God causes them to lose their paradise land. In the poem, the author let the reader know that Lucifer, the character that represents all sins, is the one who prevails in the story, there is always hell when he appears. Lucifer convinced Eve to tempt Adam to taste the forbidden fruit, which causes the wrath of God who had forbidden such fruit. Lucifer appears in the poem as the hero of the story, according to the critics of many literature experts such as William Blake and Percy Bisshe, who believe that Lucifer saves the characters in the history of tyranny and injustice from heaven.
