What is the setting of Milton’s Paradise Lost?

  1. The Garden of Eden

  2. The Mediterranean

  3. Hades

  4. Valhalla

The correct answer is: The Garden of Eden

Paradise Lost is an epic poem written by John Milton that tells the story of the fall of mankind from grace. It is set in the Garden of Eden, which is depicted as a paradise on earth. The other options, the Mediterranean, Hades, and Valhalla, are all incorrect because they are not mentioned or referenced in the poem. The Garden of Eden is the central location and plays a significant role in the narrative, making it the correct answer.
