PLOT SUMMARY OF PARADISE LOST
Book VI
Raphael carries on telling the story. Abdiel returns to heaven and finds that the angels are preparing for war. The good and bad angels go into battle. Satan's army is defeated. Night falls, and while Michael and the good angels sleep, Satan and the fallen angels are plotting. In the morning, battle begins again. Satan and his army have invented artillery, which throws the good angels to the ground. The good angels respond by throwing mountains. God then commissions his Son to win the war, which otherwise would be unwinnable by either side, so that the Son will be seen as Messiah, God's chosen king. The Son rides out in his chariot, and the evil angels flee from him and fall over the wall of Heaven into Hell. The Son returns in a parade of victory and is hailed by all the angels of Heaven.
