4/16/2020 0 Comments Cover Letter for Milton PaperIn my essay, I explained how Milton uses the word “providence” to explore the central theme of autonomy in Paradise Lost. Through explaining how God has the ability to “foresee” the future, he implicitly reveals that God is not fully autonomous; if God was autonomous, he wouldn’t require the foreknowledge that allows him to control the actions of mankind. Additionally, I explained how Milton uses the word “providence” to justify God’s actions to man. Because one source defines providence as being essential to establishing order and control, the word supports Milton’s central theme that God should be respected as a divine creator, even in the absence of autonomy.
I had a lot of difficulty writing this paper, likely because quarantine and the rapidly approaching end of senior year have stripped me of any motivation I had left for school. Although I still care a lot about school, I’ve found it increasingly more difficult to get my work done on time, and as such, I felt like I had to force myself to write this paper. Additionally, I had trouble writing this paper because I found it difficult to articulate the full extent of providence’s multiplicity. Thankfully, I have been diligently commonplacing all of my thoughts throughout our AP Lit classes and zoom meetings, and being able to look back at my commonplacing helped me tremendously.
