A reading of the "illumination" passages in Milton'sParadise Lost will enable one to draw a sharpcontrast between the images of light and darkness.Milton sets these images to "assert the EternalProvidence / And to justify the ways of God to men"(I, 25-6) after the fall of the first parents inEden. Following the biblical "Fountain ofLight" tradition, Milton invokes the celestial Lightto shine inwardly as divine guidance todevelop his justification of God (his concepts oftheodicy). Whereas William Empson considers thatMilton did not succeed tojustify God and merely struggled to make God appearless wicked, one can resolve the Miltoniccontroversy over his justification through aninvestigation of Milton's use of language. The imageof light represents God's sovereign power; however,the image of darkness symbolizes the rebelliousangels' devilish guile. By extension, the celestiallight and hellish darkness occur in postlapsarianGarden of Eden, but the sinful couple receives theillumination of "Eternal Providence" reaching aneverlasting and promised divine companionshipthrough the hope of a "paradise regained."
