The answer is: a heavenly muse.

John Milton follows in the tradition of other great philosophers, who, after Parmenides of Elea (who at the beginning of his poem, <em>On Nature, </em>is escorted by the daughters of the Sun, the god Helios, in the pursuit of his difficult journey) raise their voice to the heavens and the gods in order to request their assistance in tackling such a burdensome and difficult enterprise, which is the pursuit of knowledge about difficult, obscure or challenging topics. In the case of Milton, he asks, in his epic poem, <em>Paradise Lost, </em>for the assistance of a heavenly muse in order to explain the problem of evil and suffering and why God would allow them.

The second half of chapter 8 provides many examples of the result of Gatsby’s dream. Identify several of them.
wel
Gatsby's dream is basically the American Dream. That is, Gatsby wanted to make himself into a rich man who could have not only wealth but also love (Daisy).

The second half of Chapter 8 shows the results of Gatsby's dream. Gatsby, of course, is murdered by George Wilson. Wilson mistakenly believed Gatsby was responsible for the death of his wife. What Wilson didn't know, however, is that Daisy was driving Gatsby's car; therefore, Daisy was responsible for her death.

Therefore it is ironic that Gatsby's love for Daisy led to his death. His dream, then, is ultimately unattainable. He will never achieve the happiness he hoped for, and the person he loved most brought about his demise, albeit accidentally.
