N2  - This study sets out to examine the portrayal of the woman through John Milton's Paradise lost by finding out the place of the woman in God's creation and some of the consequences of her place that the work under study expose. In Paradise Lost, the woman is characterized as inferior and or even slave to the man; thus, this study looks at the belief man's downfall and what effects it has on the image of woman. In view of the above, this work is based on the hypothesis that Milton's woman in Paradise lost is responsible for the fall of man and emprowering. Considering that our study is located in the realities of the seventeenth-century British history, the New Historicism approach is employed in the process of our analysis. It is in this perspective that John Milton conveys the idea that woman is not only the cause of the evil, but also the means that can lead man to redemption. Therefore, Milton's depiction of the woman transceds some patriarchal prejudices
