  • Essay / divine - 827

    Most poems written in British literature have evolved many villains and heroes. In many poems, villains terrorize people and/or harm a community. A hero usually comes along and saves the day. A new concept of how poems are viewed is called the Divine. The Divine is the involvement of God or a supernatural deity in the human world. In the poem Hero and Leander, it is about two young lovers who are passionately in love. First of all, you have the charming virgin heroine who has decided to put her service to the goddess Venus. The handsome Leander is described as being so attractive that even men found him handsome. In the poem Paradise Lost, it is 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, they both have similar and different ways of showing the divine through God. The God or God plays an active role which gives man the privilege of free will to express his divine. In the poem Hero and Leander, one way the divine is shown is shown through the love of the two companions. Hero and Léandre 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 let her marry a man from a foreign city (he is from Abydos). "On the Hellespont, guilty of the blood of true loves, in sight and opposite two cities were the maritime borders..." (1 -4). Even though people oppose them being together, they still fight for each other's love. “Love is not totally pitying (as men say), but deaf and cruel where it wants to pray” (287-288). Leander continually puts pressure on the middle of the paper 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, many poems feature different types of gods or supernatural things that can involve in the human world. With Hero and Leander, you see that Neptune intervenes by kidnapping and killing Leander in revenge. You also know how love is represented in the divine and their love was so strong, no matter what God implied, they stay to try and fight to be together. With Paradise Lost, Satan was so intent on revenge that he caused Adam and Eve to be banished from “Paradise.” Adam loved Eve so much that he was also willing to sin against God. In Hero, Lander and Paradise Lost, divine involvement can cause good and bad things to happen..
