This book literally made me feel sick to my stomach. It was like a horror movie talking about all the demons and the rise of the war against God.

Basically, Milton is now going to list the demons and how they tempted and caused havoc to man throughout the Old Testament by giving examples a reference to biblical stories.

Moloch,
A demon
-
Of Locusts, warping on the Eastern Wind, That ore the Realm of impious Pharaoh hung Like Night, and darken’d all the Land of Nile: So numberless were those bad Angels seen Hovering on wing under the Cope of Hell
Milton is making another analogy. He is comparing the curse of the Egyptian people by God for enslaving the Iserealites to the demons rising up. He is saying this situation was just as bad as that curse.

That with the mightiest rais’d me to contend, And to the fierce contention brought along [ 1
Milton is making a lot of side analogies and it is easy to get lost from his analogies and the actual story. For me this is kind of an ADHD nightmare. Cool story so far but hard to follow with the analogies. If a reader doesn't have a Bibical or Thology background, I think this will be hard to follow for the average reader. I have some Bible knowledge and am struggling. So glad we have the class notes here to help!

This was brutal. I got bored 1/4 of the way through it. However, I got the general concept. I've never been into sci-fyi so this was a bit harder for me. I think the general ideas on government, control, feminism, utopia, and agree/disagreement of oppions were the general reason the Arthur wrote this piece especially after the government and the six year peace period. The Arthur clearly is not a fan of government and questions many ideas before her time. There is also a sense of sarcasm I see in her writing especially with the main character questioning all the animals. It felt like the book Animal farm to me. If I had, had three weeks to read this, I think it would made a lot more sense. This isn't something you can sit down and read in one sitting. It is something tp contemplate, re-read and then think about. I found it hard to get all the info right off the bat and had to re-read three times. I am still not sure I got all of it, but yeah....

d before an artificial: for Art is, for the most part irregular, and disorders Men’s understandings more then it rectifies them, and leads them into a Labyrinth where they’l never get out, and makes them dull and unfit for useful employments; especially your Art of Logick, which consists onely in contradicting each other, in making sophismes, and obscuring Truth, instead of clearing it.
Basically now they are disagreeing and the utopian society is not doing so great.

After this, they took a Charcoal, and viewing it with one of their best Microscopes, discovered in it an infinite multitude of pores, some bigger, some less; so close and thick, that they left but very little space betwixt them to be filled with a solid body; and to give her Imperial Majesty a better assurance thereof, they counted in a line of them an inch long, no less then 2700 pores;
What is even going on anymore? I am so lost.
-
But this opinion was contradicted by others,
More contradictions and lack of agreement. A Utopian society is not a realistic government. No group of people will completely agree on everything all the time. That is the beauty of human thought and opinion. Disagreement often lead to knowledge if the people disagreeing are willing to learn.
-
then it would follow, that the sight of Animals is the cause of light; and that, were there no eyes, there would be no light; which was against all sense and reason

A very massagonist time period. I understand this was normal at that time, but so was slavery until the mid 1860's. That doesn't make it morally acceptable. Anytime a group of people is stereotyped huge issues are created. Gender, skin color, religion as a whole can't be regarded as superior or inferior. That is just not how we were made. It also makes me angry when God/Religion is brought as a justification for this. No. Just no. The Bible also states not to use God's name in vain, which I believe means to use his words in a different context other than it was meant. Context matters and I find a lot of the examples listed here were used out of context to prove a point not to gain understanding. This doesn't work when a person knows the Bibles context. I think the Bible reads of love not massogony. More over, its just basic respect and really about love. Its not that complicated.

But for a wife who knoweth and acknowledgeth the general, that an husband is above his wife, to imagine that she herself is not inferiour to her husband, ariseth from monstrous self-conceit, and intolerable arrogancy, as if she herself were above her own sex, and more than a woman.

The very attire which nature and custom of all times and places have taught women to put on, comfirmeth the same: as long hair, veils, and other coverings over the head: this and the former argument doth the Apostle himself use to this very purpose, (1 Cor 11:7, &c.).

-
True it is (as is already confessed) that woman first sinned, yet finde wee no mention of spirituall nakednesse till man had sinned;
It wasn't really about who sinned first. They were punished together. This sentence would have more umph to it if Eve had sinned but not been punished by God (and Adam had not sinned). but that is not how it happened.
God was walking in the garden and found both of them and punished them both. I mean maybe if Adam had not sinned it would have just been Eve who was punished. They were given different punishments but still of equal value. I think the punishments alone show equality not one over the other.

And so they are indeed, for she helps to spend and consume that which man painfully gets.
I don't know if I agree with this. A lot of women I see are the ones who encourage the family budgeting and saving. I see many men who spend things easier and with less thought. I heard a quote on the radio that I thought was intresting,
It said a woman will spend way much on something she needs. A man will spend much on something he doesn't need." This is another stereo type as well, which does not apply to every case.

This was such a great read. Shakespeare always has a way of bringing up so much emotion in his works. I love his style. He truly one of kind. You can definitely tell when he writes a piece because his thoughts and analogies are so unique. This poem made me sad but it also brought reflection. I wrote a few quotes down from this piece that I want to use for paintings on my bedroom wall.

For where is she so fair whose unear’d womb Disdains the tillage of thy husbandry?
The are three agricultural terms here: unear, tillage and husbandry (agricultural husbandry).
unear for plowing tillage means to prepare soil for plants and husbandry is the actual planting.
I think it is making an analogy between gardening and marriage. The poet may be saying the womb is ready for plowing (its empty) and she should be prepared for a husband.....
