Feminine Stereotypes in Chapter 9 of Paradise Lost
This 3 page, MLA style paper examines the use of feminine stereotypes in MiltonÂ’s Paradise Lost. The inappropriate use of stereotypes indicates almost a laziness on the part of the author because it leaves the impression that they simply couldnÂ’t develop a real character. In the case of MiltonÂ’s Paradise Lost, Eve, as she appears in chapter nine, is a victim of very base stereotypes of femininity and women. Eve is a caricature of the weak woman who cannot fully exist without her mate, who cannot take care of herself.
