LOST其实就是这么一回事

很久以前,有一座神秘的小岛,小岛位于南太平洋的某个位置。在这个小岛的中心位置的底下,隐藏着一股强大的磁场,在磁场的正中间有一个水池,水池中央有一个洞,而这个洞被一根柱子给堵住了,水池四周都散发着温和的黄色的光芒,这个地方被称为小岛的光源。如果有人把那根柱子从水池中央的洞里把出来的话,这样可不好玩,强大的磁场会从底下猛地冲上来,水池中的水也会慢慢流尽,温暖的黄色的光芒也会消失,然后便是地动山摇,整个小岛就会沉没。这样危险的事情当然不会有人去做,她也不例外。

她是一个女人,而且是个老女人。她在这个小岛上生活了很久很久,所以,她也渐渐发现了小岛的神奇,一切都源自于那股强大的磁场。当她发现了小岛的秘密之后,她觉得自己要保护这个小岛,觉得这个是自己的使命,所以她肩负起了要保护小岛的任务,就是不让别人靠近小岛的光源处去破坏光源,要不然大家都得去见阎王,于是,她开始了她作为小岛守护者的生涯,在她身上,有一瓶红色的酒,我们暂且称为红酒。她喝了红酒之后,竟然拥有了长寿的身体,这其中有什么奥秘我也不知道,有人说这其中包含着纳米分子细胞,能够对人的细胞产生某种影响,达到长寿,此种说法目前我还不敢苟同,但是为了文章需要,暂且称为是纳米分子细胞的神奇作用好了。

虽然她拥有长寿,但是她还是可以被人杀死的,因为人总有一死。所以,她未雨绸缪,想要找一个接班人,这样一来,她就可以让她的接班人帮她守护小岛。某天,一艘船被小岛的磁场引了过来,出事故了,她发现了一个孕妇,并且救了她,而其他的幸存者则在岛的另一边。她救了孕妇不久后,孕妇生了一对双胞胎儿子,一个名字叫Jacbo,另一个倒霉孩子连名字都还没取,守护小岛的女人就把孕妇给杀了,因为她想要这两个孩子做她的接班人,如果不杀孕妇的话,孕妇日后就会带走那两个孩子。

于是,她开始抚养这两个孩子,成为了他们的养母。N年后,孩子长大了一点,Jacbo 喜欢穿白衣服,我们暂且称他为小白,而那个没名字的孩子喜欢穿黑衣服,我们就叫他小黑吧。小白和小黑感情很好,小白比较听养母的话,什么事只要养母说的他都听,都信任,而且小白有时候也傻乎乎的。而小黑则不同,他经常会思考,自己到底是什么人,从哪里来,海的那一头究竟是什么。他也经常问养母,海的那一头是什么,但是养母为了让他不离开岛,做她的接班人,所以骗了他说岛的另一头什么都没有,世界上只有这个岛。

后来,小白和小黑在打猎的时候意外地发现岛上还有别的人,就是当年事故的幸存者。然后两人跑回去告诉养母,养母就把他们带到了小岛的光源处入口,跟他们说明了一切,然后养母说岛上那些其他人来到这里破坏、争斗、腐败、堕落,这是人类的本性,而且他们如果发现了光源,他们就会去破坏它。养母又告诉他们两个,他们两个的其中一个会是自己的接班人。

某天,小黑偶然间发现了亲生母亲的亡魂,母亲告诉小黑,他不属于这里,并且带他到了岛的另一头,那些幸存者居住的村子,让他知道了自己也是他们中的一员,并且告诉了小黑当年的真相。于是小黑准备带小白离开,回到那些幸存者那里去,和他们一起生活。但是小白是个笨蛋,他只听养母的话,于是在争执的时候养母发现了,把小白带回去了,小黑则离开了去了那些幸存者的村子,和那些村民生活了。

过了三十年,小黑和小白都长成了大黑和大白,两人虽然不住在一起,但是还是经常相约一起下棋,下的是一种古老的黑白棋,那是在小时候,小黑在沙滩上捡到的,据说是古埃及的一种游戏。

我想,在这三十年间,小黑很可能无数次地想要出岛,但是,每次船都被小岛带了回来,因为小岛的那股强大的磁场的作用,小黑离不开岛。由于小黑很聪明,很快地,他便发现了这个道理,于是,他想到了一个办法,就是对那股磁场,也就是小岛的光源下手,所以,他

利用了那些和自己一起生活的那些村民,让他们帮自己在光源附近建造了一个井,在井里他们建造了一个轮盘,想要用轮盘建立一个可以控制光源的系统,从而让他们离开岛。

有一次,小黑和小白在下棋的时候,两人聊起了那些村民,小黑说自己和那些村民生活了三十年,发现那些村民的确和养母说的一样,贪婪自私,而且爱使唤人,无药可救。但是,小白却不这么想,他认为他们其实并不是那么坏。就这样,两人一边下棋一边讨论着,同时,小黑告诉了小白,自己利用了那些人的劣性帮他找到了离开岛的方法,然后,小白回到家之后就跟养母打小报告,养母知道了这件事后当然不肯了,因为小黑一行人想要做的事会破坏小岛的光源,所以,养母去找小黑,把小黑打晕了,然后把井填了,把全村的人都杀了,至于她为什么会有这么大的能耐一个人杀了全村的人,这一点后面再解释。

当小黑醒来之后发现了全村人都被养母杀死后,小黑彻底愤怒了,即使小黑不喜欢那些村民,认为那些人是堕落腐化的,但是毕竟是和自己生活了三十年,人心都是肉长的,怎能不难过,再加上养母又破坏了自己出岛的设备,小黑暴怒之下就去找到养母,然后用匕首杀了养母,不仅为那些村民报了仇,同时也为自己的生母报了仇。但是笨蛋小白看见了这一幕,于是痛扁了小黑一顿之后,就把小黑丢进了光源里面,结果,小黑死了,尸体在磁场那里被弹到了光源附近的小溪边的石头上,而此时从光源里突然冲出了一股黑烟,估计是那股强大的磁场在小黑被扔进光源里后把他的肉体和精神分离开来,从而变成了一股带有磁场的精神信号,并且拥有意识,还可以幻化成各种人的形态,而且还可以读取人的记忆,黑烟其实就是小黑的精神意识,或者通俗地说就是灵魂,只是这个灵魂的功能比较多而已。黑烟只能是在那个人死后,黑烟才能幻化成他的样子,这其中或是神性或是科学性,编剧没有给我们答案,另外还有人说黑烟其实是一种纳米构成,并且带有电磁,在这里,说明一下养母是如何凭一人之力杀死全村人的,养母很有可能就是前一任黑烟,如果是这样,那就解释得通了,因为黑烟的杀伤力极大,而且有可以幻化成人形,不过,这只是猜想,编剧始终没有说。

变成黑烟之后的小黑还不放弃出岛的念头,因为他想要看看这个世界,想要回家。

但是,小白遵从了养母的意思,他要保护小岛的光源,在养母死前,小白喝了养母给予的红酒,也变得长生不老。

于是,小白、小黑(黑烟),一个不死男,一个黑烟怪,两个家伙就在这岛上纠缠着。小黑想要杀死小白,这样他就可以毁灭光源,然后出岛,但是出于某种规则(这规则的问题,编剧没有给出明确的答案,或许要我们自己去分析“规则”到底是怎么回事,或许编剧就是在瞎编),两者都不能直接杀死对方,只能借他人之手,所以,小白不害怕小黑会乱来,很悠闲地整天无所事事,有时候织织布,有时候去海滩边捕鱼,而小黑则也闲得慌,有时候也会出来跟小白说说话,两人聊天的时候总是在纠缠,到底是人性本善还是人性本恶,前面说了,小白认为人性本善,小黑则认为人性本恶。于是,小白为了要证明给小黑看,他就利用岛上的磁场,把一批批人引到了岛上,被小白引到岛上的人被称为“候选人”,因为小白知道自己虽然长寿,但是总有一天还是会死的,跟养母一样,他也要寻找候选人。于是他把那些人带到了岛上,不过带来之后就不管他们,让他们在岛上自己玩自己的,但是,小黑则经常变成黑烟去吓唬他们,然后经常蛊惑他们,把他们往“恶”的方向引导,一方面是为了证明给小白看自己是对的,人性就是恶的,一方面是为了想要利用他们帮他杀了小白,从而破坏光源让自己出岛,因为之前说了,小黑和小白之间有一个规则,就是两人不能直接杀死对方,所以,小黑就要利用这些候选人,然后找到一个“漏洞”,从而利用这个“漏洞”,去杀死小白,因为小黑和小白之间斗争就好像一盘黑白棋一样,双方都有自己的棋子,有一定的规则,而那些被引到岛上的人就是他们的棋子。

就这样,过了N年,在这N年间,有无数人被引到了岛上,成为小白的候选人,但是,

他们都死了,有的死于自相残杀,有的则是被变成黑烟的小黑卷起来摔死的。一次又一次,小黑跟小白证明了自己是对的,但是小白冥顽不灵,还是一批批地往岛上招人,小黑说,你就招吧,你招多少人,我就杀多少人。

就这样,两人争斗了近千年还没争出个结果。2004年的时候,小白又招来一批人。这批人就是大洋航空815航班的幸存者,这个时候,我们的男主角Jack登场了,还有Kate, Sawyer,Lokce,Sayid,Hugo等等,具体我就不说了,反正,这群人在飞机坠落到这个岛上的时候就已经成为了小黑和小白的候选人,Jack,Kate,Sayid,Locke,Hugo,Sun&Jin,这几个人则是小白的最重要的候选人,小黑不能直接杀死他们,所以,小黑就又去蛊惑他们,变成黑烟吓唬他们,无聊的时候也会杀一些自己不需要的棋子。

在岛上生活了不久之后,Jack他们就发现了这个小岛很神奇,他们发现了一个科学组织——达摩组织所遗留下来的一些设备。现在先来介绍一下达摩组织吧,1962,联合国根据了环境、战争、疾病、自然灾害等各种因素推算出了一个方程式,这个方程式预言了人类的灭亡时间,而这组方程式里的重要参数则是4,8,15,16,23,42这几个数字,那些科学家想要尽一切办法改变人类环境,从而去改变那几个参数,从而拯救人类,让人类不至于灭亡,于是,他们找到了这个小岛作为秘密研究基地,但是,在岛上,他们发现了那股强大的磁场,他们慢慢开采的时候发现了当年小黑建的轮盘,同时,经过他们的研究,他们发现了轮盘具有控制小岛磁场从而达到穿越时空的效果,于是,这引起了这些科学家的极大兴趣,他们似乎找到了方法去改变那些参数。但是,在某一次开采的过程中,他们钻到了那股强大的磁场,从而引发了一次灾难,灾难后他们建立了一个站点,站里有一台电脑,每隔108分钟都要有人去按电脑上的4,8,15,16,23,42这几个数字键,从而让能量慢慢地释放,不至于一下子冲出来,导致不必要的灾难,可是在2004年的时候,有个叫Desmond的笨蛋忘记按按钮,从而能量冲了上来,把815航班给震了下来。

达摩组织在岛上经常和岛上原住民发生冲突(这些原住民应该是之前被小白引到岛上的人,他们可能在岛上居住了很久),达摩组织和原住民之前订了协议,不能相互侵犯各自的领地,但是那些原住民却违反约定,在某一次把达摩组织的人全都毒死了,彻底清除了他们,并且占用了他们的房子和各种设备。

之后,当Jack他们到岛上之后,他们也和岛上那些原住民一次又一次地发生冲突,这倒是证明了小黑人性本恶的观点。

介绍完达摩组织,我们再回到那些幸存者。

那些幸存者们在岛上生活了几个月后,也渐渐发现了岛上的一切神秘之处,他们不断地与岛上的“其他人”斗争着,就这样斗了三季,到第四季的时候,他们一部分人终于离开岛了,但是,岛上的“其他人”的领导—Ben,为了不让曾经被自己赶出岛的前任领导人—Widmore回岛上复仇(其实他好像是想霸占这个岛),Ben去转动了时光轮盘,让整个小岛穿越时空了,而他自己则被那股力量传送到了岛外的突尼斯。

由Ben转动时光轮盘后,时光轮盘没有稳定,还是在不停地摇动着,这样导致了小岛每隔一段时间久不停地穿越时空,把岛上的人弄得死去活来,有些人会因为时光穿梭而流鼻血,甚至死亡,因为他们缺乏一个“常量”,什么是常量呢?常量就是一个等式里面不变的量,举个例子,3x=39.,这个式子里,X是变量,是未知的,而3则是常量,对于在岛上跟着小岛一起穿越时空的人来说,他们必须找到一个自己在过去还有未来都有的一样东西,让等式稳定,这样东西就是常量,如果他们没找到常量的话,等式就不稳定,所以,他们就会不断流鼻血,有生命危险。

后来,小黑利用了这一点,他告诉Jhon,如果不把那些离开岛的人召集回来的话,小岛就不会停止穿越,大家都会有生命危险。其实,小黑是想让Jhon去把那些离开岛的候选人召集回来,这样他就可以杀了那些候选人,让小白没人可接班。

Jhon相信了小黑,他转动了时光轮盘后离开岛去召集那些候选人,但是那些候选人以Jack为首都不想回去,所以,Jhon想用自杀来解决问题,他以为自杀后大家会明白自己的苦心,不过在自杀的时候,他被之前离开岛的Ben救了,Ben从他口中套出了回到岛上的方法之后就杀了他,因为Ben嫉妒Jhon,嫉妒他知道这个小岛的秘密比自己多,嫉妒他的特别之处,而且自己是岛上的领导,怎么能让一个刚来岛上不久的菜鸟比自己还牛(和谐)逼呢,绝对不行,于是嫉妒之心让他杀死了Jhon.

之后,由于Jhon的死,Jack很内疚,在Ben的煽动下,他说服了其他几个候选人回到了岛上。

后来,小黑终于找到了漏洞,利用了小白对他的其中一个候选人-Ben的忽视,挑拨离间,终于,让Ben杀了小白,把小白烧成了灰。

再后来,小黑就想尽一切办法让这些候选人自相残杀,成绩还不错,最后只剩下4个候选人。

终于,小白显灵,他意识到自己如果再这样悠闲下去不插手的话,小岛早晚被小黑毁掉,于是他把所有的事情告诉了Jack他们,并且让Jack担负起了守护小岛的责任,Jack在喝了小白给的带有小白的身体细胞的水之后也变的长寿了,之后小白的灵魂就散了。然后Jack 就带领大家一起去对付小黑。Jack的一个朋友-Desmond,就是那个在达摩组织研究站忘记按按钮导致他们坠机的人,他因为受到了强磁场的影响,从而变得不怕磁场,同时还可以不定期的意识穿越时空,所谓意识穿越时空就是他的意识跳到了另一个时空,这跟《蝴蝶效应》这部电影的穿越形式差不多。

Jack就是因为知道了Desmond不怕磁场,所以他决定带Desmond去把小岛光源处的柱子移开,他以为把柱子移开之后黑烟就会死,因为黑烟就是那里的产物,而小黑则也想Desmond去移动那根柱子,因为,小黑认为柱子被移开之后小岛就会因为强大的磁场的冲击而沉没,这样一来,那些候选人就可以全部死光光,然后他就可以变成黑烟,飞走了。

但是,当Desmond移开柱子之后,小岛开始剧烈摇晃,而小黑的本领却消失了,可能是因为他身上带着的某种磁场的特性也随着光源的被破坏而失去了,所以,他不能变成黑烟了,成为了一个实实在在的普通人,这下可好,Jack趁机痛扁了小黑一顿,而小黑则刺了Jack 一刀,紧急关头,Jack的小情人-Kate对小黑开了一枪,小黑中枪身亡,被Jack踢下悬崖。但是此时,小岛地动山摇,Jack打算去把光源处的柱子插回去,让光源重新出现,Kate一行人则准备坐飞机逃离小岛。

Jack打算自己去把柱子放回去,这就意味着自己必须牺牲,因为光源处有着强大的磁场,一般人进去后绝对死翘翘。于是,Jack把守护者的身份交给了胖子Hugo,自己则进去光源里,终于,光源被Jack恢复了,而他则被磁场弹到了小溪边,奄奄一息的他慢慢地走着,一直走到竹林里终于躺下了,此时,狗狗Vicent突然出现,跑到Jack身边躺下陪他,Jack看了看狗狗,笑了笑,然后看了看天空中飞过的同伴们逃离小岛的飞机,安心地闭上眼睛,Game Over了。

然后,在N年后,所有人都死了,有老死的,有病死的,大家死后都聚在一个死亡的空间里,Jack的老爸说:“这个地方(死后的空间),是为了让你们相聚,你人生中最重要的时光就是和那些人共度的时光(那些人指的是和JACK出生入死的那些幸存者),这就是你们

在这的原因,没有人是孤独的。”

JACK问道:“为什么?“

老爹回答:“为了铭记,然后为了忘记,然后继续前进,继续探索。”(对话内容有删改)随后,老爹打开了教堂的大门,从门外迎来一股强烈的光芒,天堂之光。

就这样,小黑和小白的争斗结束了,他们始终都没有证明到底是人性本善还是人性本恶,小黑也始终没有出岛,而JACK一行人则在岛上收获巨大,收获的不仅仅是和朋友们的友谊,同时,他们逐渐找回了自我,让在原来支离破碎的生活中迷失的自己重新找回了自我,完成了自己的救赎。

Paradise lost(简介)

约翰·弥尔顿的英文诗 约翰·弥尔顿(John Milton,1608~1674)英国诗人、政论家,民主斗士。弥尔顿是清教徒文学的代表,他的一生都在为资产阶级民主运动而奋斗,代表作《失乐园》是和《荷马史诗》、《神曲》并称为西方三大诗歌。 Paradise Lost译为“失乐园”。 作品介绍 《失乐园》(Paradise Lost),全文12卷,以史诗一般的磅礴气势揭示了人的原罪与堕落。诗中叛逆天使撒旦,因为反抗上帝的权威被打入地狱,却仍不悔改,负隅反抗,为复仇寻至伊甸园。亚当与夏娃受被撒旦附身的蛇的引诱,偷吃了上帝明令禁吃的分辨善恶的树上的果子。最终,撒旦及其同伙遭谴全变成了蛇,亚当与夏娃被逐出了伊甸园。该诗体现了诗人追求自由的崇高精神,是世界文学史、思想史上的一部极重要的作品。“失乐园”的由来是从《圣经》创世纪中所诉的故事中得来的: 亚当和夏娃偷食禁果以后,世界便为此颠倒。原来温暖如春的天空中盘旋着背离上帝的寒流,凉风一阵紧似一阵地吹过来,世间的一切都开始变得紊乱而不和谐。道分阴阳,动静相摩,高下相克。人失去了天真烂漫、无忧无虑的童年,注定要经历酸甜苦辣的洗礼,体验喜怒哀乐的无常。智慧是人类脱离自然界的标志,也是人类苦闷和不安的根源。上帝在园中行走,亚当和夏娃听见他的脚步声。此时他们的心与上帝有了罅隙,出于负罪感,他们开始在树林中躲避上帝。上帝对人的失落发出了痛切的呼唤:“亚当,你在那里?人哪,你在哪里?”这呼唤中包涵着上帝对人犯罪堕落,失掉了赐给人原初的绝对完美的忧伤与失望,又包涵着对人认罪归来,恢复神性的期待。然而在上帝一步紧似一步的追问面前,亚当归咎于夏娃,夏娃委罪于蛇。这就是上帝对人类最初的失望与忧伤,这就是人类背离上帝的最初堕落与痛苦。 亚当对上帝说:“我在园中听见您的声音,就害怕,因为我赤身露体,我便藏了起来。”“谁告诉你赤身露体的呢?莫非你吃了我吩咐你不可吃的那树上的果子么!”上帝知道他已背离了自己的意志,愤怒地质问。 亚当辩解说:“您所赐给我与我同居的女人把那树上的果子给我,我就吃了。” 上帝回顾夏娃,问她:“你都干了些什么呢?” 夏娃说:“那蛇引诱我,我就吃了。” 上帝知道人的僭越已无法挽回,既然他能够分辨了善恶,就应承担与之相称的责任。上帝责罚罪魁祸首的蛇说:“你既作了这事,就必受咒诅,比一切的牲畜禽兽更甚,你必用肚子行走,终身吃土。我还要叫你和夏娃彼此为仇,你的后裔和她的后裔也彼此为仇。她的后裔要伤你的头,你要伤他的脚跟。”于是蛇就失去了翅膀和人身,变成了一根弯弯曲曲的长虫,令人生厌。它只能用肚子爬行,钻洞吃土。 上帝接着责罚率先堕落的女人夏娃道:“我必多多加增你怀胎的苦楚,你生产儿女必多受痛苦。你必恋慕你丈夫,你丈夫必管辖你。” 最后,上帝对亚当说:“你既听从了妻子的话,吃了我所吩咐你不可吃的那树上的果子。土地必因为你的缘故受咒诅,你必须终身劳苦,才能从地里获得粮食。土地必给你长出荆棘和蒺黎来。你也要吃田间长出的蔬菜,你必汗流满面才能糊口,直至你归了土。因为你是从土里创造出来的,你本是尘土,仍要归于尘土。” 人类因为发挥智慧而创造了文明;因为滥用了智慧而受到诅咒。沃土长上荆棘,绿色原野成为荒漠,晴朗的天空变得乌烟瘴气,清澈的河流秽物漂流。人性如果受到邪恶败坏,就会导致可怕的后果--毁灭,人就可能失掉永生(生生不息繁衍)的权利,他将出于尘土而

Satan and Paradise Lost - 撒旦与失乐园

Satan and Paradise Lost A discussion of Milton's Paradise Lost and Satan'srole in it.Investigates the mixture of sympathy and horror evoked by Milton's portrayl of Satan in this work Ambivalence toward Satan in Paradise Lost is a difficult element to define.On the one hand Satan is our socio-religious inheritance as the embodiment of all the ills of mankind.Thus the name"Satan,"even if merely uttered,connotes horror and repulsion,even to the staunchest atheist.In Paradise Lost,however, at least in the first several books,a characterization of Satan is portrayed in which the audience feels sympathy and fraternity with Satan's character.In addition to an analysis of God's and Satan's characters,there are two perspectives on the content of Paradise Lost which show where the conflict in the reader's perception evolves. On the more superficial level,meaning the level determined by preconceived notions of the epic's characters,there is a conflict between Satan,pure evil, and God,pure good.Pure evil then continues to lay waste to anything God cherishes in a feeble attempt to exact revenge for his punishment.Our first father and mother,Adam and Eve,are seduced by Satan and made to suffer therefrom.The punishment,determined by God,seems just and merciful in light of mankind's transgression of his sole command,not to eat of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.This much is in the mind of any Judeo-Christian or informed reader before the epic is even begun.Thus the details of Satan's transgression,the war in heaven,God's commands and actions,and the characterization of all characters within the epic are subordinate to our foreknowledge.Without a careful analysis everything seems to be in place and to conform,at least generally,to our preconceptions.One cannot help,however, but to feel some ambivalence in the accepted religious convictions.Why? To answer this question one should wipe all foreknowledge and preconceptions out of the analysis.This of course leads to an inaccurate conclusion since Satan's character in Paradise Lost cannot be separated in the audiences mind nor in its reality from the socio-religious convictions about Satan.Nevertheless, this analysis will reveal the ultimate cause of the ambivalence toward Satan.To illustrate the point better by separating preconception from story,Satan's character will be referred to as Robert and God simply as the king. Robert lives in a kingdom,but it is a kingdom of general equality and mutual honesty and trust.One day the king,out of the blue,announces that he has decided that his son shall be his successor.Robert feels uneasy about this and calls a third of the kingdom to a conference.In this conference Robert argues that if this kingdom truly rests on equality,honesty,and trust,shouldn't all the

In paradise lost Satan’s image(欧洲文化入门)

In paradise lost Satan’s image Abstract:Paradise lost about human depravity of long epic. It tells the story of the first man Adam and eve in the Garden of Eden was pure and innocent, because the devil the temptation of Satan and against the will of god, and finally to the process of sin in fall. The author Milton poems in the use of the bible character image, so that the theme to show incisively and vividly. This paper discussed the Milton's paradise lost, and Satan in the role of paradise lost King words: Free will Rebel Heroism Invincible Spirit 1 Introduction of the author John Milton (December 9, 1608 – November 8, 1674) was an English poet, prose polemicist, and civil servant for the English Commonwealth. Most famed for his epic poem Paradise Lost, Milton is celebrated as well for his eloquent treatise condemning censorship, Areopagitica. Long considered the supreme English poet, Milton experienced a dip in popularity after attacks by T.S. Eliot and F.R. Leaves in the mid-twentieth century; but with multiple societies and scholarly journals devoted to his study, Milton’s reputation remains as strong as ever in the twenty-first century. V ery soon after his death –and continuing to the present day –Milton became the subject of partisan biographies, co nfirming T.S. Eliot’s belief that “of no other poet is it so difficult to consider the poetry simply as poetry, without our theological and political dispositions…making unlawful entry.”[1] Milton’s radical, republican politics and heretical religious views, coupled with the perceived artificiality of his complicated Latinate verse, alienated Eliot and other readers; yet by dint of the overriding influence of his poetry and personality on subsequent generations--particularly the Romantic movement--the man whom Samuel Johnson disparaged as “an acrimonious and surly republican” must be counted one of the most significant writers and thinkers of all time. 1.1 Literary career (1) The 1st period was up to 1641, during which time he is to be seen chiefly as a son of the humanists and Elizabethans, although his Puritanism is not absent. Areopagitica and The Masque Camus (1632) are his early masterpieces, in which we find Milton a true offspring of the Renaissance, a scholar of exquisite taste and rare culture. Next The Masque Camus The greatest of early creations was Lucida, a pastoral elegy on the death of a college mate, Edward King. (2) The second period is from 1641 to 1654, when the Puritan was in such complete ascendancy that he wrote almost no poetry. In 1641, he began a long period of pamphleteering for the puritan cause. For some 15 years, the Puritan in him alone ruled his writing. He sacrificed his poetic ambition to the call of the liberty for which Puritans were fighting. (3) The third period is from 1655 to 1671, when humanist and Puritan have been fused into an exalted entity. This period is the greatest in his literary life, epics and some famous sonnets. The three long poems are the fruit of the long contest within Milton of Renaissance tradition and his Puritan faith. They form the greatest accomplishments of any English poet except Shakespeare.

弥尔顿失乐园英文评述paradise lost

Paradise Lost

Melton's magnum opus, the blank-verse epic poem Paradise Lost, was composed by the blind and impoverished Milton from 1658 to 1664 (first edition) with small but significant revisions published in 1674 (second edition). As a blind poet, Milton dictated his verse to a series of aides in his employ. It has been argued that the poem reflects his personal despair at the failure of the Revolution, yet affirms an ultimate optimism in human potential. The extract from Paradise Lost ids mainly talking about: Mammon who was the least erected spirit that fell from Heaven, discovered and robbed wealth with evil and greed from earth to build his paradise. When he was in Heaven, he was preferred gold and pavement other than admiring holy and bright side. This time, Mammon educated people to be greed and evil. He led a group of people to seize treasure from the mother of earth. With spade and pickax, all the miseducated men were devoted to trenching a field or casting a rampart. Soon his group had opened the hill into a spacious wound and gained ribs of gold. Meantime, another team digged many caves, magic flames under caves melted the gold and then pured all those with somewhat magic thicks. At the same time, the third groups had finished various models for architecture. Still with magic power, all the gold in boiled liquid flowed followed pipes of the buildings. It sounds like a pleasure beautiful music. Quickly and unexpected, a resplendent and magnificent palace was just stood there.
