What We Think

Paradise Lost is essentially immune to modern wokeness, dripping with traditional values, reverent toward religion, and high on narrative integrity. If anything, contemporary readers might find it a bit too non-woke for comfort!

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Paradise Lost is a masterclass in traditional narrative structure and deep character development. Identity politics are non-existent and character traits are built on personality, motive, and moral struggle, not on demographics. No forced representation in sight.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This is about as non-woke as literature gets: steeped in Biblical tradition, reverent toward Christianity, upholding classical morality and family, even Satan is more a tragic rebel than a mascot for subversion. Traditional gender roles aren’t questioned, just depicted as they were in the 17th century.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the book is firmly rooted in Christian worldview, it does engage with themes of free will, rebellion, and doubt, offering sincere portrayals of dissent (namely Satan). However, it never mocks or caricatures faith, morality, or tradition as regressive.
