Classics Summarized: Paradise Lost
I gotta say, I've talked about a lot of nominal heroes in my time on the internet, but Lucifer's gotta be the nominal-est of them all.
The funniest part about this book is, it was supposed to be firmly anti-Satan. We were supposed to hear the lies Satan was telling about how things went down and despise him even more for making it sound believable. Unfortunately, all he did was make it sound believable, and the end result was that Satan became a sympathetic character for the first time in his life. Way to go, Milton; your propaganda backfired in the most hilarious of ways.
I'm told that Milton, who had become blind by the time he wrote this, dictated the entire text to his daughters. The presumed translations the text went through as a result *might* serve to help explain why Satan is presented so… sympathetically. *cough* sexy bad boy */cough*
