Milton (ENGL 220)
In the final lecture of the course, the analysis of Samson Agonistes comes to a conclusion with an exploration of the poems sexual imagery. Miltons choice of subject matter is puzzled over, as are the ethics of his tragic hero, particularly when compared to the heroes of Miltons previous epics. The poem is positioned as a means by which Milton ultimately resolves the poetic, religious, and career-related crises of his earlier poem, "The Passion," and the compelling relationship between the corpus and the poets biography is revisited one final time.
