Abstract: Emerging plurilingualism invoking the writers to produce a literary composition not only for one community but also for the globe. This study, however, endeavors to investigate the bilingual influence on the writers’ literary composition either due to multilingual environment or a typical writing bent of mind. For conduction this study, a qualitative research method is adopted and a close textual analysis to exhibit the bilingual affect on Milton’s poetic style of writing specifying the text---"Paradise Lost”. After careful examination from primary and secondary data sources, the study provides findings that Milton’s style represents the bilingual effect as Milton used multiple languages data such as Latin, Germanic and English. In addition, the study also shows that Milton has superbly used bilingual techniques using rhetorical devices and philosophical languages. The study also implicates that the future researchers may explore the other domain of bilingualism such as code-switching, code mixing, borrowing and coinages within literary text of any age.
