Epic Poem Commit Acts
478 wordsHow does John Milton portray Satan in his poem, "Paradise Lost"? In this epic poem, Satan's traits include pride, treachery, and persistent spitefulness.

This shows when Milton writes, "what time his pride / Had cast him out of Heaven, with all his host / of rebel angels, by whose aid aspiring / To set himself in glory above his peers" (36 - 39). This lin...
