Were this a story, you would have the rebelling side of the fallen angels at least be able to put up a fight, if not appear close to winning before ultimately losing. But as it is, where the lowest ranks of faithful angels are able beat Satan's closest lieutenants (because Heaven's side cannot even be seen to struggle, I assume), it feels so one-sided as to be barely worth calling a "war."

"Live to ourselves, though in this vast recess /
Free, and to none accountable, preferring /
Hard liberty before the easy yoke /
Of servile pomp."
I mean, you can't say the devils sound unreasonable.

Decided I wanted to finally read this. Much shorter than the page count says- I plan on just reading the poem, not Bible excerpts and critical essays about the poem...
