In John Milton’s Paradise Lost religion and colonialism are closely associated. Many important works since The English renaissance have postcolonial aspects. By using Antonio Gramsci’s ‘Hegemony’ and Louis Althussar’s ‘Interpellation & State Apparatus’ theories, this paper enacts a post-colonial perspective of Milton’s Paradise Lost. It also covers the impacts of colonization in society during the period of Milton and its resemblance in his great epic. Since every reading is a misreading, my misreading is a study of Paradise Lost with a post-colonial lens.
