By the time milton wrote his poem, the king james version of the bible was well known, and his wording clearly reflects it. in what way has milton amplified this part of the familiar genesis story? a) he has made it less dramatic. b) he has used rhyme to decorate the language. c) he has given more insight into eve's feelings. d) he has made the serpent seem less clever.

The correct answer is: C) he has given more insight into Eve's feelings.

In Genesis 3:13 it says: 'And the LORD God said unto woman, "What is this that thou hast done?" And the woman said, "The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat."'

While in Milton's poem it reads: 'So having said, he thus to EVE in a few,

"Say Woman, what is this which thou hast done?"

To whom said EVE, with shame nigh overwhelm'd,

Confessing soon, yet not before her Judge,

Bold or loquacious, thus abasht repli'd.

"The Serpent me beguil'd, and I did eate."'

In Milton's version, Eve is ashamed of what she's done.

- "is not only a luminous passive watcher in the night sky, but it is a powerful force.

it does symbolizes love,   lust   and dreaming and is seen as a power symbolic force that determines and affects human behaviors and reactions.

in the context of the question it does remain you that he events are only taking place at night and the reader of the passage of time."
