i now understand why so many people carry love for Milton’s Satan. if not love, then fascination. even when reading about the Great Almighty and his perfect angels, i can’t help but turn the page for a second in search of Satan. bitter, loyal (to his fellow Fallen, at least), proud, charismatic, and bit pathetic, Milton’s Satan is a Satan you can’t help but love. evil? yes! but an unconvincing Absolute Evil.
