Abstract

Throughout more than three hundred years of criticism on John Milton's paradise lost the character satan has been a subject of controversy for many reasons and from many perspectives. Despite being God's adversary, Milton shows his readers a satanic character with many faces, experiencing different changing emotions, and more inner conflict than any other character within the text of paradise lost. However, satan is not the hero of this epic. Perhaps if Milton was writing a classical epic satan would be the hero, but Milton wrote his work as
a Christian epic and that distinction predetermines who is good and who is evil. But how did Milton do this? How did he take a character like satan, whose reputation both inside and out of the literary world takes precedence before him, to make such a sympathetic character that experiences a hero's journey, and ends up as the anti-hero of epic proportions?
