There s a fury within him, and he fears he has become dangerous to those he loves. With this overall plot in mind, this article articulates this ex-centric and unusual fury in relation to John Milton s Paradise Lost with a view to discussing Jacques Derrida s notion of  destinerrance as a possible alternative to literary influence. The article also examines what sorts of religious, literary, philosophical, and/or mythical references that appear throughout the novel and that resonate to the epic poem. Rushdie writes,  Life is fury. Fury sexual, Oedipal, political, magical, brutal drives us to our finest heights and coarsest depths. In brief, this fury can and ought to be related to the Fall and its outcomes.</font></p></td></tr></table></tr></td></table></body></html>
