Is paradise lost a mature read? is paradise lost a mature read? like sexual wise? cuz adam and eve - carnal sin... that stuff...
(i'm writing an essay on Frankenstein and Poor Things and he reads paradise lost, but Shelley never talks about anything suggestive... so i was wondering if thats a valid point to write about..?) |
Is it full of sex? No. Paradise Lost is not a titillating ****.
Is it a "mature read" in the sense that, as many consider it to be one of the most important works of English, it's hard to get through, has a great deal to say, and has directly influenced mankinds ideas of God, the Hero, and the beginning of time? Yes, absolutely.
Paradise Lost is about the rebellion of the creator against the created. If Frankenstein was getting at anything, it was getting at that. Dr. Frankenstein will be pleased to know that at no point does Milton say that the angels and their rebellion was just or right.
Satan was not the hero. |
How long does it take a Bird of Paradise to grow a flower when grown from a seed? The plant itself has grown, but it still has no flowers. I read on another site it can take 7-10 years before a flower will grow! Is this true? Thanks for your help! :) (We started with seeds, not a seedling or mature plant.) |
| They usually hit maturity at about 7-10 years under ideal conditions and also have about 10 leaves on each plant. I have 6 reginae and 4 nicolai that are 7 years and 6 years. I am hoping the white ones bloom this year. They have enough leaves on them. The reginae bloomed for the past two years with the first year only a couple of blossoms. It should take off real good this year. Only Mother nature could have made such a beautiful and exotic flower to mimic a bird in flight. |
Are Nana and Paradise Kiss aimed at older teens? I know it's shojo. I get the impression that they are aimed at older teen girls as there are some sexual scenes, sex references and more mature ideas in both of them and the characters in them both are aged 18 and above? |
yes Nana is
there are lots of sex scenes
but don't worry they don't show anything
and it has a really powerful message so, if you are over 13-14 you should read/watch nana it is really good
but because paradise kiss is made from the same person i bet that is good also, so read them both
^.^ |
What age group is Fruits Basket aimed at? I like it but I'm more into more mature shojo like Paradise Kiss and stuff, I was just wondering what age is it aimed at as it is very innocent but it has some not so innocent references especially with Haru tehe! |
| Fruits Basket is a "shoujo" manga/anime which is roughly around the age group of 10 - 18. I would say Fruits basket is specifically aimed at around 13 - 17 yr olds, being innocent but then again a little risque. |
Is there an anime similar to nana and paradise kiss? dont say peach girl, ive seen itand its not like it.
i mean mature themed, with a proper romance instead of the normal both like each other but nothing happens.
fruits basket and ohshc come under this category if you didnt realise.
thanks |
The author also wrote another story that centered around Mikako so you should check out that one
its called- Gokinjo Monogatari
it has love and fashion. the works! |
Any good mature romance anime? I'm looking for a good and mature romance anime.
I watched Paradise Kiss and enjoyed it very much, that's just the type of romance anime I'm searching for, and it's also my favorite anime so far.
If anyone knows an anime which resembles Paradise Kiss, please tell me! But it doesn't necessarily have to be an anime with fashion, though.
What I don't like is some corny shojo-romance with big-eyed girls and stuff…
I also don't like this harem kinda thing with like a hundred of girls and only one boy… Also, no yuri or yaoi, please.
I'd prefer a bad-boy or even a villain as the male part.
It would be great if it was also a little dramatic, so that the couple has to deal with a lot of problems.
And only slice-of-life-romance, no fantasy, horror, mecha or sth like that.
I hope you have some good recommendations for me :D
(also, sorry for my bad English, I'm from Germany -.-) |

Looking for mature Comedy Anime? I liked Nana, Paradise kiss, Itazura na Kiss and even Seirei no morbito which has more mature themes and some comedic elements.
Wonder if anyone can recommend more. Much appreciated.
Oh btw, I watched and loved lovely complex which isn't mature but was very funny so something like that too will be fine. |
Well, there are several mature anime, and I'm glad you have discovered them in favour of the more mainstream ones. One I recommend is Mind Game, it's not a series - it's a movie - but it is one of the best pieces of japanese animation I have encountered.
You can find it here anime-lounge.com/mindgame/ (I use this website for finding mature anime since they don't upload many things, but whenever you click any anime series/OVA/movie you can be sure it's targeted at a mature audience, and that it is of quality.
Enjoy! |

I'm not a shojo fan but I've know some animes like that, I think that you will like Arashi no ceres...look for this anime or what about Saikano, it's about the war but the main character is in love...and I think that is a good anime.

Is paradise lost still in print? i have looked for it and can't find it. also, is it too mature for say a freshman in high school? i have a very high reading level. |
I bought one from Barnes and Nobles the other day, it's still in print, you'd probably find it in the poetry section or near the literature section of b&n of course you can go to the service desk and ask them to find it too, I;m sure they'd have it in stock...... yeah... or go to bn.com (barnesandnobles.com) and order it from there for a few dollars.
And no it's not too mature, I'm in high school too and I'm reading it. |
