초록
The purpose of this paper is to reveal that the whole narration in Paradise Regained is triggered by Satanic desire to invent a new story. This epic opens to end all things, and the narrator declares that there would be no change and development of the story. Jesus is already chosen to be a great redeemer even before he is tested in the desert, and Satan's defeat is involved in the redemptive history with God's eternal plan. Thus, "anti-narrativity" actually affects the whole narration of this epic, and the "narrativity" becomes Satanic and sinful. Satan tries to make a new story through the slight change in his description of Baptism. His main target is to assault Jesus' chosen identity as the Christ and postpone the Christ's involvement in Godhead. His constant descriptions of Baptism provide new stories different from the original, and nullify the significance of the great event. Satan's narrative is identical to committing idolatry, because it makes the decree of God or significance of holy event to be forgotten. In Satan's final defeat, however, it is proved that no new story has been developed, and everything has been returned to the opening End.
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to reveal that the whole narration in Paradise Regained is triggered by Satanic desire to invent a new story. This epic opens to end all things, and the narrator declares that there would be no change and development of the story. Jesus is already chosen to be a great redeemer even before he is tested in the desert, and Satan's defeat is involved in the redemptive history with God's eternal plan. Thus, "anti-narrativity" actually affects the whole narration of this epic, and the "narrativity" becomes Satanic and sinful. Satan tries to make a new story through the slight change in his description of Baptism. His main target is to assault Jesus' chosen identity as the Christ and postpone the Christ's involvement in Godhead. His constant descriptions of Baptism provide new stories different from the original, and nullify the significance of the great event. Satan's narrative is identical to committing idolatry, because it makes the decree of God or significance of holy event to be forgotten. In Satan's final defeat, however, it is proved that no new story has been developed, and everything has been returned to the opening End.
