In 'Paradise Lost', which angel is ordered by God to drive Adam and Eve out of Paradise? Before he does so, he shows Adam a number of visions about the future of the human race, beginning with Cain murdering Abel and ending with the redemption of mankind through Christ. Who is this angel that has a large role in the finishing chapters of 'Paradise Lost' ?

Correct answer: A. Michael

  • A. Michael
  • B. Abdiel
  • C. Rafael
  • D. Gabriel

Explanation

Michael is commanded to expel Adam and Eve and then shows Adam the future history of humanity, including the murder of Abel and Christ's redemption. Raphael appears earlier to warn Adam about the Fall, so he is the tempting alternative.
