Paradise Regained is a poem by the 17th century English poet John
Milton, which deals with the subject of the Temptation of Christ.
One of the major concepts emphasized throughout Paradise Regained
is the play on reversals. As implied by its title, Milton sets out
to reverse the "loss" of Paradise. Thus, antonyms are often found
next to each other throughout the poem, reinforcing the idea that
everything that was lost in the first epic is going to be regained
by the end of the mini-epic. Additionally, this work focuses on the
idea of "hunger," both in a literal and in a spiritual sense. After
wandering in the wilderness for forty days Jesus is starved of both
food and the Word of God. Satan, too blind to see any non-literal
meanings of the term, offers Christ food and various other
temptations, but Jesus continually denies him.
