What is
Miltion trying to tell me?! After pondering what to write this blog post about,
I’ve come the conclusion that I’m just going to attempt to answer my own
questions. A few things have stood out to me. Now, I do NOT have an in depth religious
background. I checked out of Sunday school around age 9.
Beezlebub
questions why God banished them to hell. What was God’s plan for them? Why do
they even still exist? Satan does not seem to think that this is such a bad
thing. If they’re banished to hell for eternity, that must mean they don’t have
to listen God anymore, right? Satan wants to think of ways to consistently
anger God.
This also
brought the battle of Good vs Evil to the forefront of my mind. Is the human
race, in which Satan says God will create, truly be the downfall? And reign
evil like, all over the world? Yes, human will sin, just as Adam and Eve did,
but there are also humans so good that they’re convinced that they will be saved,
despite their wrong-doings.
I also found
myself rooting for Milton’s Devil. It’s like, even though he’s bound in hell,
he’s still bound and determined to never bow to God’s will. That’s tenacity I
have to admire.
This
compilation of thoughts has led to a very random blog post.
Also, this South Park Satan is all I can picture while reading this book.
