SummaryIn Book 1 of John Milton’s Paradise Lost, Satan’s character is borderline glorified as a military hero, despite his juxtaposition to the lord and creator, his nemesis, God. Regardless of this, Satan’s essence is evil, sly, and dishonest. Banished from heaven as a result his army’s defeat from God’s forces, Satan and his army were cast to a lake that gives off “darkness instead of light.” This is symbolic of their dark, ominous nature. Even after witnessing the power of God and his army, Satan does not repent against his rebellion against God, and even plots to pervert God’s will to evil. Satan’s character is complex, intelligent, and persistent. Despite these admirable traits, his flawed character traits are what eventually bring him down.
