What is the main theme in John Milton’s Paradise Lost?

  1. Good versus evil

  2. The power of Nature

  3. War and Peace

  4. Duty of Man

The correct answer is: Good versus evil

One of the main themes in John Milton's Paradise Lost is the struggle between good and evil, making choice A the correct answer. This is evident in the plot as the poem explores the fall of Satan and the temptation of Adam and Eve. Additionally, the characters of God and Satan are portrayed as opposing forces of good and evil respectively. While options B, C, and D may be present in the poem to a certain extent, they are not the overarching theme as seen in the contrast between good and evil.
