The Mac ad is a very powerful comercial that references many works including Paradise Lost and 1984. This commercial connects to Paradise Lost because it shows how female character goes into a male dominant society and changes everything, so that it is irreversible and forever changed for better or for worse. This is along the lines of what Eve did using her free will she broke the perfect world. However in the Mac ad it demonstrates more of a dystopia than the perfect Garden of Eden. This commercial does show how a beautiful strong woman (like Eve) is able to break society from its mold and create something new. A final comparison to Paradise Lost is that the logo for the Mac computers is an apple with a bite out of it representing when Eve took a bite out of the forbidden fruit and created sin but also the human race. The logo is foreshadowing that the Macintosh computers, once tried (bitten out of) will forever change computer usage.
