Narrating With a Devilish Edge: Justifying God in Paradise Lost through Satan and the Narrator
14
By Lauren Malkoun
My analytical essay will pinpoint specific moments John Milton's epic Paradise Lost to see whether or not he succeeds in his plans to justify God. Milton, the narrator, constantly parallels himself with his version of the character Satan. Although this makes it appear that Milton is of the Devil's party, in reality, this parallel is a vital way the Milton is able to justify God. It is in this comparison that Milton makes apparent God's grace. In the end, in an unlikely turn of events, through the similarities between Satan and the narrator, the ways of God are justified and John Milton's intent that is stated in the opening lines of Paradise Lost is fulfilled. plain 2020-11-30T11:25:45-08:00 43.598872, -86.357952Lauren Malkoun
