Topic > divine - 827

Most of the poems written in British literature have developed many villains and heroes. In many poems, villains terrorize people and/or harm a community. Usually a hero comes along and saves the day. A new concept of how poems are seen is called Divine. The Divine is the involvement of God or a supernatural deity in the human world. In the poem Hero and Leander, they are two young people both passionately in love. First, you have the lovely virgin Hero who has decided to lend her service to the Goddess of Venus. Handsome Leander is described as so attractive that even men found him handsome. In the poem Paradise Lost, it talks about the ongoing battle between God and Satan. Satan is trying to destroy God's new world with lies and deception because of his jealousy. In both stories the connection begins with the power of God. In both poems both have similar and different ways in which the divine manifests itself through God. The God or Gods play an active role that gives man the privilege of free freedom to express one's divine. In the poem Hero and Leander, the divine in one way is shown by the love of the two companions. Hero and Leander are madly in love. The first time they met it was love at first sight (they met at the annual Adonis festival). Leander wants to marry Hero, but she tells him that her parents would never allow her to marry a boy from a foreign city (he is from Abydos) "On the Hellespont guilty of the blood of True Loves, in sight and in front of two cities there were the borders of the sea..." (1 -4). Even if people are against being together, they still fight for mutual love. “Love is not full of pity (as men say) but deaf and cruel, when it intends to pray” (287-288). Leander continually presses... at the center of the sheet... announces to alarm, although inaccessible, his fatal throne, which if not victory is still revenge (2.101-105). Due to Satan's vengeance against God, Adam and Eve were banished from paradise. In conclusion, numerous poems talk about different types of deities or supernatural things that can involve the human world. With Hero and Leander you see that Neptune involves almost kidnapping and killing Leander in revenge. You also know how love is represented in the divine and their love was also so strong, no matter what God is involved in, they stay to try to fight to be together. With Paradise Lost, Satan was so vengeful that he caused Adam and Eve to be expelled from “Paradise.” Adam loved Eve so much that he too was willing to sin against God. In both Hero and Lander and Paradise Lost, divine involvement can make good and bad things happen.
