Explanation of English Literature MCQs Test

Samson Agonistes, an Epic by Milton

Samson Agonistes is a tragic closet drama by John Milton. It appeared with the publication of Milton's Paradise Regained in 1671. It is considered the greatest English drama based on the Greek model and is known as a closet tragedy. "Samson Agonistes" is, however, religious in tone. Its hero recovers and does God's work and the moral law is firm and clear. There is no disproportion between sin and punishment, no temporary dislocation of the universal order, and no sense of waste. This play is Hebraic, it justifies the ways of God in structure, and it is totally Greek.
