Why does Milton feature Robin Goodfellow in

You are likely referring to John Milton's epic poem *Paradise Lost*.

While Robin Goodfellow, also known as Puck, is a famous figure in English folklore, he is not a character in *Paradise Lost*.

*Paradise Lost* focuses on the biblical story of the fall of humanity, with Satan as the central antagonist. It features characters like Adam, Eve, God, and angels, but not figures from English folklore like Robin Goodfellow.

Perhaps you are thinking of another literary work where Robin Goodfellow appears, such as:

* William Shakespeare's *A Midsummer Night's Dream*: Robin Goodfellow, under the name Puck, is a mischievous fairy who manipulates the characters in the play.

* Other works of English literature: Robin Goodfellow is a popular figure in English folklore and appears in numerous works, often as a trickster or magical being.

If you can provide more context or details about the specific work you're asking about, I might be able to give you a more precise answer.
