PARADISE
LOST
Short Synopsis
This political/romantic satire is based on John Milton's epic
religious poem. I have removed the religious elements of the
story, but it is still a struggle for good and evil -- the struggle
occurring within the hero, Lucifer. His temptation is greater,
because he is a general in the heavenly army, ruled by a weak,
elderly Emperor who is about to pass his crown on to his son.
When Lucifer discovers a secret the Emperor has kept from his
Angels, he organizes a rebellion to take over Heaven.
Lucifer's forces lose the war, and he is separated from his
true love, the female Angel Michel. He and his men land in Hades,
where they set up a rival kingdom to the Emperor and wage their
war -- not now for the rule of Heaven, but for the earth.
Michel herself leaves Heaven when she discovers she is pregnant
by Lucifer -- her's is the first baby to be born to the angels,
because Lucifer discovered the secret the Emperor kept to himself
-- the secret that allowed him to give birth to his son. When
she goes to earth, she changes the future of mankind.
When Eve becomes Lucifer's lover and she and Adam are evicted
from the Garden of Eden, the Emperor's general who tells them
the story of the Angelic war is confused by the outcome -- mankind
is not destroyed in a nuclear holocaust as the Emperor planned,
because Michel's baby mates with Adam and Eve's children, who
become part angel. |
