Reign In Hell Character Of Satan

Satan, as a character, has been satirized, mocked
and made foolish in our modern world. John Milton,
however, presents quite a different Satan from the
devil-on-your-shoulder image people are used to
seeing. In Paradise Lost, Milton draws on the
Bible for his source of Satan's character, thereby
creating a horrifyingly corrupt Satan. Despite
this portrayal, readers often find themselves
sympathizing with Satan's cause, and his
determination, viewing him as a hero for his
cause, as evidenced by h...

a disadvantage socially, economically, and
politically. Shakespeare realized this and sought
to bring the controversy that comes with
Androgynous issues to life. Through strong female
