God. The first that I asked hemmed and hawed and

The question, Satan as a seducer? is a very
different and unique angle to view his character.
To some extent, he does play a role as a seducer
in certain parts of Books I and II of Milton's
poem, Paradise Lost. Somehow he manages to make
other people believe and furthermore trust in him.
Deception is the most obvious weapon the Satan
utilizes to persuade some of the characters in the
poem. Nearly every statement he makes can be seen
either as a lie or a delusion. The first and
earliest proof of ...

Imaginary, because the story is a fantasy; but

anyway. In Oxford, likelihood evaporates. At about
