Satan’s Tragic Fall From Grace
In the epic poem Paradise Lost, John Milton depicts Satan as a tragic hero. ...
The first couple of books in Paradise Lost primarily focus on the character of Satan and his fall from grace. ... In Paradise, he will never “Find place or refuge; and the more [he sees]/Pleasures about [him], so much more [he feels] torment within [him], as from the hateful siege/Of contraries; all good to [him] becomes bane” (IX. ... Tragically, he can only imagine what could have been and lament at his inability to experience any of the joys or pleasures that exist in Paradise. ... He moves into increasing sin and degradation while Adam and Eve attempt to redeem themselves by repenting and living virtuous lives in hopes of regaining entrance to Paradise in their afterlives. ... Instead, he has increased his own agony and has made a hell out of the Paradise. ... He succeeds in accomplishing his goal and causes Paradise to be lost by deceiving Eve into committing mankind’s first sin, yet, in a sense, he hasn’t obtained a true victory against a vengeful God.
