In Miltons Paradise Lost, the ultimate model of the relationship between creator and creation is demonstrated in the relationship of God and Man. Milton refers to God as Heavenly Father declares His omnipotence. (Leila and Mohammad 55). God is a masterful creator and as and as Psalm 24: says, The earth is the LORDΒS, and all it contains, The world, and those who dwell in it (New American Standard Bible). In Paradise Lost and the Bible alike, God gave man free-will and reason to understand and make a choice between good and evil. God made Adam and Eve out of His own image and Milton expresses this when writing: my thoughts associated with them in surprise and disbelief. I can love them, for they have such a strong divine likeness& (Milton). The essence of humanity is a combination of God and man. In Paradise Lost, readers see the role of God as creator in His creatio
n of Adam and Eve. When Adam and Eve gave in to their temptation from Satan and sin, they are cast out of the Garden of Eden. Sin is born and though God is angered, readers see that God is graceful and just. Adam councels Eve and they approach their creator in humble contrite prayer. They sincerely repent of their sin in an act that brings about their reconciliation with God (Urban 07). Their contrition is theologically pure and is met by Gods mercy and justice as their sins are forgiven. The creator creation relationship in Paradise Lost provides readers with the assurance and understanding of God and His ways. As David Urban said in his journal article, The Falls of Satan, Eve, and Adam, in Paradise Lost&, sincere repentance paved the way for their renewed theological sincerity, an integrity of belief that will be safeguarded by a life of sincere obedience (07-08).
