초록

Milton places Mary as an ideal reading subject possessing unique
powers of interpretation and discernment. After the Restoration Milton
attempts to set up a model figure who can rightly interpret God’s word
on a religious and theoretical basis to carry out an historical mission.
Milton’s basic philosophy for historical vision is contingent on the mode
of hermeneutics which should be reexamined in response to a changed
political situation. In the course of rethinking the hermeneutic position,
Milton finds out an ideal type of interpretation in Mary’s discerning
activities, which can provide a new concept of the regaining of paradise.
Mary generates profound insight into the nature kingdom of God and
Jesus’ mission. She comprehends metaphoric and typological discourse of
history based upon the dynamic relationship of history and prophesy,
whereas Satan and the 1640-50’s revolutionaries stick to historical and
political literalism rooted in physical prediction and monologic conditions
of time. Mary’s divine hermeneutics nourishes Jesus’ meditative
capabilities to recognize his Messianic identity and role and
simultaneously prevents Satan’s carnal diabolic exploitation of divine
information. For example, Jesus’ recollections of his mother demonstrates
how her encouragement has decisive influences upon his development as
Messiah, and Satan’s temptation shows how her admonition does not
take part in his understanding of the scriptures and prophets. Especially,
Mary’s interpretative method leads rash and impatient readers to the
preparation to stand and wait and to internal spiritual power of deriving
hope from trouble and despair. Mary displays superior “spirit and judgement” in her understanding of what relates to the regaining of paradise. She is aware that wisdom does not emerge from texts themselves and even holy scriptures but is produced by the critical reading abilities of employing spiritual
judgement. She proves herself as ideal receptacle of wisdom by claiming
that “[m]y heart hath been a storehouse long of things / And sayings
laid up, portending strange events”(2.103-4) Because her wisdom is
formed from this storehouse, the insight can suggest a logical and
ideological framework in which Milton and revolutionaries should meet
the political and ethical climate after the Restoration. Mary is located as
the ideal reading subject for transforming historical process into concrete
meaning. The process of regaining paradise is embodied in the
interpretative model of Mary in Paradise Regained.
