Abstract

This paper examines the complex interrelation between language, power, and divine order in the works of John Milton. By analyzing Paradise Lost, Areopagitica, and Paradise Regained, the study highlights how Milton treats language as a medium of spiritual truth, political freedom, and moral responsibility. The paper argues that Milton views language as a divine gift embedded in cosmic order and essential to human understanding. It also evaluates Milton’s concern about the misuse of language as a tool of deception, tyranny, and rebellion. Through close reading, the analysis reveals how linguistic expression shapes human choice and theological meaning. Ultimately, the study demonstrates that in Milton’s poetic universe, language functions both as an instrument of salvation and a potential catalyst for ruin.
