The Devil Inside
Although the age of faith was transitioning into the age of reason when John Milton dictated Paradise Lost, life in the 17th century still very much revolved around the Church. Therefore, it was important for the English upper classes to maintain the appearance of religious piety. As a result, the impious masqueraded as meek and God-fearing Christians. It is because of this religious hypocrisy that John Milton painted a non-traditional portrait of Satan in his epic poem about the Fall of Adam and Eve. The uniqueness of Satan in Paradise Lost has fascinated theologians, scholars, and the laity for centuries, and for some very good reasons. The character is fascinating because he reminds readers that the same evil in his heart is also in their hearts.
