    Apart from the obvious danger Milton put himself into prior to writing Paradise Lost, the biggest criticism of the work is that no writer before or since ever described the "glamour" of Evil more seductively.

    Great video, thank you. The bit about how it gained attention possibly because the way Milton wrote about Satans resistence to submission, drive and curiosity.

      There are three Spirit in one God , it is like three (3) fire camp put together , it still make one fire 🔥 .
      God is fire the Father , the son🔥and the Holy Spirit🔥One God of love , justice , fairness !!!
      God proved his love toward us humanity by sending Jesus to shed his blood on the cross for the forgiveness of our DISOBEDIENCE , REBELLIONS , " SIN " !!!
      The justice of God was accomplished by his only son Jesus-Christ and shed his blood when pierced by the Roman soldier (centurion)!!!
      Like Moses time ( era ) where they killed , sacrificed animals for its blood to shed and be used for the
      ' FORGIVENESS "of their own SIN" but that last only a short time , they had to repeat with sacrificing of an other animal !!!

    It is interesting that you see Satan as the heroic tipology here, and you brought as an argument the fact that he is "brave and courageous with all the best lines. His resistance to submission...", while at 9:07 you mention that "Milton tries to make the point that God is carefull not to influence his creatures, but to leave their individual choices to them, even when he can see the outcome. He does this because he wants all his creatures to obey Him out of love, not because they are forced to." So, if God doesn't force anyone to do anything, how can we say that Satan is resistant to submission, when there is no submission in the first place. His resistance isn't against God, but against God's rules, which are built on love and truth, which means that Satan becomes full of hatred and lies. It doesn't seem to me that he fits in the Hero Archietype, but he tries to fit in the outlaw archietype. He comes with promises for a better world, a better rulement and freedom, but his biggest trick is to mask the fact that he is actually the Trickster, the one who lied and tried to decieve everyone so that he would make those loved by God to go against God (here is included me and you and every human).
    Verry few is mentioned about the True Hero Archietype, the one who was ready to die for the sinner. He chose suffering and death so that those whom He loves would be able to live. He is the Son of God, and is the most underrated heroe of all times! And through him we can live again!

    The most important part of the book is the ending. At least one other angel is present with the archangel Michael at the end, along with his flaming sword. Thus, the cherubim and the flaming sword that still guard the entrance to paradise in the book of Genesis. To be completely honest, it is the devil himself, and I never would have remembered this if it weren't for the band Ghost, that wants people to understand the ending.

    When seraphim came down on Lucifer's side, Gabrielle's suggestion that the Almighty fight Lucifer himself was rejected by Michael on the grounds there wasn't enough time. Gabrielle was the first angel to take flight in the war in heaven, and she went so fast that the demons were starspun around her.

      I remember making many connections at one time, when considering the works. What is the direction you are thinking? Is the abandoned farm Eden in it's fallen state? It became overrun as if the slanted and enchanted part took over once the garden and farm were left unattended. The brothers, Cain and Able? Adam's journey and conflict. It's been a long time but these ideas jump out at me.

    Michael felt that if he destroyed Lucifer, the irredeemable, outright, that Omeren, the demon from the Exorcist, would become enranged and attack the Almighty. He did not feel that the Almighty could survive a fight with Omeren. That was his fear. Omeren supported Lucifer, thinking that if Lucifer wants Alfina, hand her over.

    Meanwhile, the seven bodyguards of Jehovah, including Uriel, and, presumably the holy spirit, are held back. And 14 wives of Jehova with chariots. The 14 wives of Jehovah and Urd were in tears that they may have to take the field if the Almighty fell. The Almighty is the unnamed son of Jehova and Uria, who is the name of the rose. Uria was not in a chariot.

      If they were placed far away from the Tree of Knowledge, then how could they truly choose to obey or disobey God. God giving them a choice would be meaningless if they were not able to act on that choice.
      Going to hell for not following God is something that people freely choose. God does not put in hell those who do not want to be there. God asks us to worship and be good like him. Anything contrary to that is an injustice, which leads to suffering. Hell is where those who choose evil can live their life of injustice. Heaven is where those who have made the choice to obey God and do good things can live a life of happiness with God.

The Eve now is not the wholesome, loving, and pure Eve from before but despite this Adam wanted to be with Eve even though its pointless because he's just chasing a ghost.
