What epic convention does Milton follow in his opening sentence?

English
1 answer:
dolphi86 [110]3 years ago
7 0
Milton begins Paradise Lost by stating the theme of the epic, which is one of several epic conventions.

The first sentence of the poem is actually quite lengthy and tells the reader the poem will involve "Man's first disobedience, and the fruit Of that forbidden tree..." etc. etc.

Other conventions: the style is elevated and formal, and the setting is vast in scope.

Well, you're going to talk about the conflicts in The Lottery and The Lady or the Tiger... So... in The Lottery, the main conflict was that the lady (whatever her name was) was chosen to be stoned in the lottery. It wasn't really resolved in anyway, except that she got.. stoned. I haven't read The Lady or the Tiger, but you would do the same thing for that. Then you would state the theme, or moral, or main point, of each story. And then you would compare how the resolutions for both conflicts demonstrate the stories' themes.. Does it make a bit more sense?
