“Pandemonium” literally means “all demons”, but I’m guessing that a conference hall full of fallen angels and pagan gods would also qualify for the other kind of pandemonium.

@@AskMia411 To be fair, I'm not dyslexic and still didn't notice that until very recently. When you get used to just looking at the entire word and never breaking down its meaning, it's easy to overlook.
Fun fact: In the book of Genesis, early versions of the Bible don't quite refer to Satan's form in Eden as a snake. In fact, the word used is closer to "Leviathan". So instead of a cute little snake, take a minute to imagine Eve seeing a massive serpentine abomination talking to her, not thinking it's weird, actually listening to it, AND going along with what it says.
Funner fact: The original garden of eden story really did just feature a snake, but Satan was likely never intended to be associated with the snake. The misconception of Satan being the snake comes from the book of revelation, where he is referred to as an "ancient serpent". And that ancient serpent is leviathan, but NOT the garden of eden snake.

It's not as fun though is it Jae Elise, I mean seriously Satan is a tempter and deceiver throughout the gospels and the acts, what would you rather Satan be? a throw away reference to the book of psalms, its self an old, hardly reference to Leviathan and God's initial pre Judaic relationship as being of chaos and storm god duking it out, or rather, identifying Satan as the serpent in the garden of Eden, the first tempter the first deceiver, finally tying up a strange loose thread that hung without remedy since the first book of the bible? I'm sorry but I for one prefer the widespread interpretation, Satan being the serpent and Leviathan being just another fish in the sea. A more dangerous and violent fish, but one firmly under God's dominion

It's only slightly undercut by the implication that women can't do anything smart without men, **so sayth God**. Wonder how Milton would have reacted to the Sufferage Movement...
@handle I mean, guys tend to do stupid things... alot... without a gal to reign us in. Man and woman compliment each other, and neither husband nor wife should make big decisions like doing the one thing God forbade without consulting the other.
+@@abzhz101handle9 Trust me, that's not an implication, that's directly stated in Paradise Lost. "He for God and she for God in him," "Mind thy inferior," and all that. The implication is that Adam fell even before Eve took the apple by letting Eve have freedom and listening to her suggestions over what they should do, which Milton claims is the man's role as "natural commander" and "superior creation." Thus, Adam went against nature by letting Eve take charge. I took a whole class on Milton and my research paper was a 17 page spite-fueled argument about how Milton actually defeats his own stated attempts to logically justify of the actions of God by treating Eve as a tool to also try to justify the various ideas about women in his misogynistic view of the world, which inherently conflict with each other because misogyny isn't logical and if Eve is inferior as he repeatedly states in order to justify his own time's misogyny then she can't be more culpable than Adam, or even _equally_ culpable, for the Fall, and God punishing her more than Adam is irrational. Basically Milton needed Eve to act as villain and temptation more than a simple apple because he wanted to make Adam a tragic Epic hero, and without woman to blame, Adam isn't any kind of hero, and Milton was willing to contradict his own argument that God is rational to do so. If he were still here with us, Milton would be so far against women's sufferage he'd probably be an OG Men's Rights member - if he thought women persecuted men by their _existence_ (which he did), he would _not_ be able to handle modern day. A Modern Milton would be one of the antifeminist "Rationals" on the internet who get made fun of by HBomberguy and can't accept that their beliefs aren't actually rational.

Angry Yogbuscus Also depending on who you ask, he DID trick Adam. Some interpretations say Eve wasn't punished because Adam was told not to touch the fruit. But when he saw Eve eat it, he assumed it was safe. So by getting the innocent one to break the rules he tricked the guy who KNEW better.
@@Juniper_Rose There are also interpretations that the whole story is an allegory for growing up. Eating the apple is the loss of innocence we all experience when we become adolescents. Eating the Apple is sex. The arguments for this go back to referencing texts from Sumer and Egypt and even Inuit myths and stem from the monomyth hypothesis, and is too complicated to explain here.

jonnie Vasquez I know, I had to reply that line and the part that follows so many times. It was genius. I just wish those were lines on a show for him.
One inaccuracy is that it's not that Eve gets bored of the story, but remembered she still had some work that wasn't finished and left, telling Adam that she'd rather hear it in his words anyway. This is because the story makes a point of how extremely pure of heart in love the two are with each other, to the point that their pre-fruit eating arguments are more like short-lived disagreements where they don't even get angry. And the book also makes a point of how fruitless (pun not intended) everything Satan's doing is. His idea is that it's better to rule in Hell than serve in Heaven, but as the story progresses, his philosophy gets proven wrong time and time again and it's just him grasping at straws to justify what he's doing. The story's more of a character study on the Devil more than revisionism.
Well it makes many changes from the actual work in Genisis. The actual text neither mentions Satan and also doesn't say that Eve is more to blame then Adam and really doesn't hint to that either. Are you saying it's not a rewriting of Chrisitan Theology? Rather then not a rewriting on the actual story in the text?
@@Nlinzer I realize that the youtube comments are not an ideal place for biblical exegesis, buuut... Genesis 3 (the account of the fall) does not mention Satan, but does give the serpent an extensive part in the temptation of Eve. While the Jews (who have never had much of personification of Satan/Evil, especially not before the Babylonian captivity) don't read Satan into this particularly, it has been a very long (and exegetically reasonable) Christian interpretation to say that the talking snake was in some way Satan - it being an established fact that snakes don't talk, and also that the snake is saying stuff that sounds very Satan-like. In regard to accountability of Eve Vs. Adam, I'd reference Genesis 3:6: "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat." While it's possible to interpret this to give completely equal responsibility, you have to push the text pretty hard to get that result - eisegesis. The most natural reading very much gives Eve the agency; . It's undeniable that there is some shared responsibility, as the poem acknowledges ('he did eat'), but it doesn't follow from that that the responsibility is divided exactly evenly.
@ryanjensen1945 I am jewish so coming from the Jewish perspective and the plain reading of the text the snake while the tempter is not satan(and of course jews don't have a beleif in Satan). As for your point about Chava/Eve. You are right that a plain reading puts her at more fault than Adam. But a plain reading also makes that diffrence very small. It seems that Adam needed no convincing at all to eat.
@@Nlinzer That's fair. I would argue that a writing which includes the details of the accepted interpretation of the text is not 'making changes from the text' in doing so - what Milton says about the snake is completely consistent with what Moses says about the snake, just with additional detail/information. It's a viable position to say he's wrong, but not that he's contradicting the biblical text.
@ryanjensen1945 that's fair. I guess I see additions to the text. Even accepted ones differently then most people. I see them as going against the plain reading. Of course I then do them too so I'm a hypocrite there. But that is fair. Thank you for the discussion
Every once in awhile I re-watch this video and I every time I think "man what I wouldn't do to have Lucifer from the Netflix show react to this video in character"

Same! And I love how Adam's just like, "Your stupid Eve. But I love you. So I'll throw away paradise for you." And the whole, "Daddy Issues." thing was AMAZING.

So I remember having to take this British literature class one fall, and we were reading Paradise Lost. I remembered OSP having done a video on it and its help along the way in understanding the poem. However, I had to do a workshop with the prof for my paper. We were bouncing ideas on what I could focus on and I brought it the video. She asked for the link and I emailed it to her, thinking "Hopefully she likes it." Little did I know the next class session, while we were still talking about Milton, she brought the video and WHOLEHEARTEDLY agreed with Red's comment on how Paradise Lost is basically Bible fanfiction. It's stuff like this that reminds me that there are some English profs that love to bash on writers for funsies.
to be fair the whole of the new testament could be seen as fanfiction tacked onto the end of the old testament, it's not dismissive, it's just an adjective.
Technically all religions are fanfics about a cool story about everything in the world having a soul in hat can do stuff and the stan got homocidally defensive about which stories should be made canon
Yes and no. Milton supposedly asked the holy spirit to reveal to us about the mysteries, but instead invited satan himself in to perverse the holy teachings. Paradise Lost still does not make any sense.
Totally depends on how people view him. We do not know much about him. I do not know for sure. This is what I studied so far. Yes and no. Some satanists still call him Lucifer. Since God made his creations, they are not evil. In all honesty, I do not belive satan is evil. He is just doing evil stuff just prove to God that he can become God without being one with him ( by not getting God's help). Satan is ignorant. He does not understand why God gave him those blessings. He does not want to understand since he has pleasure in being in despair and his pride. He belives that he knows everthing and that he would be a better God by allowing everyone to do anything they desire. He is trying to prove that to God. He loves to get people into despair. Even being in despair is still forgivable if ones repents for it. Everything is forgiveable if you repent. I already asked the holy spirit. I'm Orthodox. I am still hoping that satan and his followers will repent.

As much as I love this video, Satan isn't described as this handsome figure throughout the entire poem, in fact, he's physically on a decline throughout the poem. He takes quite a few animal forms such as a lion, tiger, toad, and of course, snake. However, his physical form changes over time as well. When Gabriel confronts Satan in Book V, none of the angels recognize him at first because he's beginning to look like the evil he is spreading. Later in Book X, when Satan sits back on his throne in Hell, there is nothing left of his beautiful appearance. This decline is also represented in the decline of his motives. While at the beginning he may have appeared to have an almost 'noble' or 'justifiable' cause (this is the devil we are speaking about though), he wants to fight back against what he believes is a tyrant- God. However, a true Promethean has to be rebelling against an unjust tyrant, and attempt to right a wrong- this isn't the case with Satan. He only wants what HE wants, and is ruled by selfish desire.He WANTS to be like God, and have his power. Anyway, later on we see him change and become a tyrant himself in Hell. He becomes very bitter overtime, as he realizes none of his actions will ever help him, he is forever doomed. Milton never intended for people to see Satan as the literal hero to this poem, as some do. Yes, he is the protagonist, and there is more character growth in him then any other character in the poem, but his tale ends in tragedy. It's basically a mirroring of Anakin and his downward spiral into Darth Vader. But yes, back to my original point, he's only this 'handsome bad-boy" character at the beginning. Later on he becomes unrecognizable as he follows his own selfish desires that only turn him more and more bitter. This poem isn't the first to describe Satan as a beautiful character, the Bible itself describes him as being the most beautiful angel in all of Heaven.
Yes exactly! Tolkien actually based Melkor off of Satan. Melkor/Morgoth was the first "Dark Lord" and rebelled against his creator out of pride, choosing to corrupt Arda- it's basically the same thing with Satan.
@@greekfreak1436 Not gonna lie that's kinda weird, if anything Jesus is usually seen as the soft cutesy aspect of God, being the Son and having turned human for a while and all
Equating Paradise Lost to a piece of revisionist fan fiction is perfect Also this was marvelously animated, voiced, and the funny lines of dialogue throughout was spectacular, amazing summary!
Back when I was reading this in college, a fellow classmate got VERY heated about a sympathetic Satan reading of this text. The teacher was having us read the text in this way because hypothetically empathizing with a character who has never been traditionally viewed as an empathetic figure, allowed us to view Satan's actions and mindset through an interesting philosophical lense. But MAN did it get uncomfortable having somebody who told us we were all going to hell for reading this text. Long story short: "Our hero Satan" might sound laughable, but it was very fascinating to view God in more of a dictator role, and Satan as a Che Guevara character. But like all revolutionaries, Satan gets too big for his own good and hurts others for the sake of spiting God. If we can put down our collectively clutched pearl necklace for the sake of one alternative character study, we find some interesting ideas here.

I think a very important piece you missed is that Satan WAS a Heroic Figure. He's not just a "bad boy" with daddy issues, from Milton's POV Satan *was* a hero fighting against a tyrant. Paradise Lost was John Milton's (slightly confused, since he was deaf and half-blind and was reading this all out to his kids) way to reconcile the complications that arose from his analysis of the Bible and the Christian Faith in general. Satan was a Hero in the same way that Sisyphus is; by taking his punishment in stride and gaining pride from it. As an enormously powerful fallen Angel, Lucifer could've converted Hell into a new paradise; the title 'Paradise Lost' refers to both Eden AND Satan's version of Hell. At the beginning he DID make it the start of Paradise, with his castle. If he had stowed his angry feelings, accepted his punishment, and appreciated his new autonomy, he could've made a new homeland equal to Heaven in his own image. In fact, this is pretty directly stated in the poem; Satan IS Hell. "Me miserable! Which way shall I fly Infinite wrath and infinite despair? Which way I fly is hell; *myself am hell;* And in the lowest deep a lower deep, Still threat'ning to devour me, opens wide, To which the hell I suffer seems a heaven." Satan, as the new ruler of Hell, could've made it a Heaven. But instead, he fell into his own despair, and became a snake. He threw off the freedom of his humanoid form and became a snake crawling across the ground like a worm instead, abandoning the chance to make his own world in exchange for ruining others. He was Hell, and by collapsing in on himself in the way he did, he ruined both himself and the land of Hell entirely. That's why Satan's role in Paradise Lost is framed as a tragedy; because Satan gave up the opportunity to do something great by making a home for all the Fallen, but instead ruined everything over his Daddy Issues. Yes, the end-all deciding factor is Daddy Issues, but Satan's portrayal as a heroic figure is essential to understanding John Milton's view of why Eden was such a tragedy-- Satan destroyed TWO Heaven's with his selfishness and his pride, and that's frankly awful. Now, John Milton was 50% insane by the time he wrote this, and it doesn't really conform to Biblical Canon in any way shape or form, but I feel like framing Lucifer as some petty guy in a leather jacket is a bit disingenuous to the original text lol.
As nicely said in video, POV is satan, so he shows himself as hero. What Christianity all agree on, Satan is liar. Moments of him feeling bad are ruined by him continuing his path. It is tragedy that Satan could have been hero, if he was less pridefull.
I just had a English society meeting (which are basically little lectures our teachers give us outside of class) and the topic was Milton. And the Paradise lost came up and I was able to impress the teachers by holding a (somewhat) sophisticated conversation on this, when in reality all I had done was watched this video 😂 Thanks Red!!!! ❤
The origins of portraying Satan go back to early Medieval times, when it was a tradition to caricaturize anything that caused fear so as to make it humorous and less threatening. Depicting Satan with horns, red skin and a forked tail was an early meme that was successful, if not Biblical. Thanks for making a difficult but important literary work so accessible.
Owen: Well, did you at least make it so him and the other fallen angels can’t get out of... What was it called again? God: Hell. And I did, as a matter of fact. Owen: Oh, Ok. So we shouldn’t have to- God: I put Sin and Death in charge of the gate and told them not to let Lucifer out. Owen: *WHAT!!!* YOU PUT HIS KIDS IN CHARGE?!?!? God: You make it seem like a bad thing. Owen: Wha- What was the logic in that?!? God: Well, Lucifer (my son) wouldn’t listen to me, so logically they won’t listen to him. Owen: *exasperated stammering* You know what? You don’t listen to me anyways, so why do I bother trying to change your mind now?

The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes was prepared for you on the day you were created."

“Pandemonium” literally means “all demons”, but I’m guessing that a conference hall full of fallen angels and pagan gods would also qualify for the other kind of pandemonium.

I think that's how the word "pandemonium" came to mean the vibes of all hell breaking loose actually
I was today years old when my dyslexic butt realized pandemonium literally has the word DEMON in it 🤦🏼♀️ seriously how did I not get diagnosed as a child, this is ridiculous
Milton coined the term
@@AskMia411 To be fair, I'm not dyslexic and still didn't notice that until very recently. When you get used to just looking at the entire word and never breaking down its meaning, it's easy to overlook.
Fun fact:
In the book of Genesis, early versions of the Bible don't quite refer to Satan's form in Eden as a snake. In fact, the word used is closer to "Leviathan". So instead of a cute little snake, take a minute to imagine Eve seeing a massive serpentine abomination talking to her, not thinking it's weird, actually listening to it, AND going along with what it says.
Sounds METAL !
reference?
Funner fact:
The original garden of eden story really did just feature a snake, but Satan was likely never intended to be associated with the snake. The misconception of Satan being the snake comes from the book of revelation, where he is referred to as an "ancient serpent". And that ancient serpent is leviathan, but NOT the garden of eden snake.

It's not as fun though is it Jae Elise, I mean seriously Satan is a tempter and deceiver throughout the gospels and the acts, what would you rather Satan be? a throw away reference to the book of psalms, its self an old, hardly reference to Leviathan and God's initial pre Judaic relationship as being of chaos and storm god duking it out, or rather, identifying Satan as the serpent in the garden of Eden, the first tempter the first deceiver, finally tying up a strange loose thread that hung without remedy since the first book of the bible? I'm sorry but I for one prefer the widespread interpretation, Satan being the serpent and Leviathan being just another fish in the sea. A more dangerous and violent fish, but one firmly under God's dominion

It's only slightly undercut by the implication that women can't do anything smart without men, **so sayth God**. Wonder how Milton would have reacted to the Sufferage Movement...
@handle
I mean, guys tend to do stupid things... alot... without a gal to reign us in. Man and woman compliment each other, and neither husband nor wife should make big decisions like doing the one thing God forbade without consulting the other.
+@@abzhz101handle9 Trust me, that's not an implication, that's directly stated in Paradise Lost. "He for God and she for God in him," "Mind thy inferior," and all that. The implication is that Adam fell even before Eve took the apple by letting Eve have freedom and listening to her suggestions over what they should do, which Milton claims is the man's role as "natural commander" and "superior creation." Thus, Adam went against nature by letting Eve take charge.
I took a whole class on Milton and my research paper was a 17 page spite-fueled argument about how Milton actually defeats his own stated attempts to logically justify of the actions of God by treating Eve as a tool to also try to justify the various ideas about women in his misogynistic view of the world, which inherently conflict with each other because misogyny isn't logical and if Eve is inferior as he repeatedly states in order to justify his own time's misogyny then she can't be more culpable than Adam, or even _equally_ culpable, for the Fall, and God punishing her more than Adam is irrational. Basically Milton needed Eve to act as villain and temptation more than a simple apple because he wanted to make Adam a tragic Epic hero, and without woman to blame, Adam isn't any kind of hero, and Milton was willing to contradict his own argument that God is rational to do so.
If he were still here with us, Milton would be so far against women's sufferage he'd probably be an OG Men's Rights member - if he thought women persecuted men by their _existence_ (which he did), he would _not_ be able to handle modern day. A Modern Milton would be one of the antifeminist "Rationals" on the internet who get made fun of by HBomberguy and can't accept that their beliefs aren't actually rational.

@@Juniper_Rose There are also interpretations that the whole story is an allegory for growing up. Eating the apple is the loss of innocence we all experience when we become adolescents.

One inaccuracy is that it's not that Eve gets bored of the story, but remembered she still had some work that wasn't finished and left, telling Adam that she'd rather hear it in his words anyway. This is because the story makes a point of how extremely pure of heart in love the two are with each other, to the point that their pre-fruit eating arguments are more like short-lived disagreements where they don't even get angry.
And the book also makes a point of how fruitless (pun not intended) everything Satan's doing is. His idea is that it's better to rule in Hell than serve in Heaven, but as the story progresses, his philosophy gets proven wrong time and time again and it's just him grasping at straws to justify what he's doing. The story's more of a character study on the Devil more than revisionism.
Well it makes many changes from the actual work in Genisis. The actual text neither mentions Satan and also doesn't say that Eve is more to blame then Adam and really doesn't hint to that either. Are you saying it's not a rewriting of Chrisitan Theology? Rather then not a rewriting on the actual story in the text?
@@Nlinzer I realize that the youtube comments are not an ideal place for biblical exegesis, buuut...
Genesis 3 (the account of the fall) does not mention Satan, but does give the serpent an extensive part in the temptation of Eve. While the Jews (who have never had much of personification of Satan/Evil, especially not before the Babylonian captivity) don't read Satan into this particularly, it has been a very long (and exegetically reasonable) Christian interpretation to say that the talking snake was in some way Satan - it being an established fact that snakes don't talk, and also that the snake is saying stuff that sounds very Satan-like.
In regard to accountability of Eve Vs. Adam, I'd reference Genesis 3:6: "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat." While it's possible to interpret this to give completely equal responsibility, you have to push the text pretty hard to get that result - eisegesis. The most natural reading very much gives Eve the agency; . It's undeniable that there is some shared responsibility, as the poem acknowledges ('he did eat'), but it doesn't follow from that that the responsibility is divided exactly evenly.
@ryanjensen1945 I am jewish so coming from the Jewish perspective and the plain reading of the text the snake while the tempter is not satan(and of course jews don't have a beleif in Satan). As for your point about Chava/Eve. You are right that a plain reading puts her at more fault than Adam. But a plain reading also makes that diffrence very small. It seems that Adam needed no convincing at all to eat.
@@Nlinzer That's fair. I would argue that a writing which includes the details of the accepted interpretation of the text is not 'making changes from the text' in doing so - what Milton says about the snake is completely consistent with what Moses says about the snake, just with additional detail/information. It's a viable position to say he's wrong, but not that he's contradicting the biblical text.
@ryanjensen1945 that's fair. I guess I see additions to the text. Even accepted ones differently then most people. I see them as going against the plain reading. Of course I then do them too so I'm a hypocrite there. But that is fair. Thank you for the discussion

So I remember having to take this British literature class one fall, and we were reading Paradise Lost. I remembered OSP having done a video on it and its help along the way in understanding the poem. However, I had to do a workshop with the prof for my paper. We were bouncing ideas on what I could focus on and I brought it the video. She asked for the link and I emailed it to her, thinking "Hopefully she likes it." Little did I know the next class session, while we were still talking about Milton, she brought the video and WHOLEHEARTEDLY agreed with Red's comment on how Paradise Lost is basically Bible fanfiction. It's stuff like this that reminds me that there are some English profs that love to bash on writers for funsies.
to be fair the whole of the new testament could be seen as fanfiction tacked onto the end of the old testament, it's not dismissive, it's just an adjective.
Technically all religions are fanfics about a cool story about everything in the world having a soul in hat can do stuff and the stan got homocidally defensive about which stories should be made canon
@@jmurray1110 I'm not quite sure you understand the difference between a fanfiction and an original story...

Yes and no. Milton supposedly asked the holy spirit to reveal to us about the mysteries, but instead invited satan himself in to perverse the holy teachings. Paradise Lost still does not make any sense.
*blasemy the holy teachings. Sorry it is late at night.
I have a question that some people consider Lucifer and Satan as separate beings and some like a transition which one is more acceptable?
Totally depends on how people view him. We do not know much about him. I do not know for sure. This is what I studied so far. Yes and no. Some satanists still call him Lucifer. Since God made his creations, they are not evil. In all honesty, I do not belive satan is evil. He is just doing evil stuff just prove to God that he can become God without being one with him ( by not getting God's help). Satan is ignorant. He does not understand why God gave him those blessings. He does not want to understand since he has pleasure in being in despair and his pride. He belives that he knows everthing and that he would be a better God by allowing everyone to do anything they desire. He is trying to prove that to God. He loves to get people into despair. Even being in despair is still forgivable if ones repents for it. Everything is forgiveable if you repent. I already asked the holy spirit. I'm Orthodox. I am still hoping that satan and his followers will repent.
He is trying to prove to God to get what he wants.

I can't believe I'm actually saying this but Satan's a mood.
I mean isn't he the DEFINITION of the trope?
No. Oh no. He isn't the definition of the trope, he IS the trope.
As much as I love this video, Satan isn't described as this handsome figure throughout the entire poem, in fact, he's physically on a decline throughout the poem. He takes quite a few animal forms such as a lion, tiger, toad, and of course, snake. However, his physical form changes over time as well. When Gabriel confronts Satan in Book V, none of the angels recognize him at first because he's beginning to look like the evil he is spreading. Later in Book X, when Satan sits back on his throne in Hell, there is nothing left of his beautiful appearance.
This decline is also represented in the decline of his motives. While at the beginning he may have appeared to have an almost 'noble' or 'justifiable' cause (this is the devil we are speaking about though), he wants to fight back against what he believes is a tyrant- God. However, a true Promethean has to be rebelling against an unjust tyrant, and attempt to right a wrong- this isn't the case with Satan. He only wants what HE wants, and is ruled by selfish desire.He WANTS to be like God, and have his power. Anyway, later on we see him change and become a tyrant himself in Hell. He becomes very bitter overtime, as he realizes none of his actions will ever help him, he is forever doomed. Milton never intended for people to see Satan as the literal hero to this poem, as some do. Yes, he is the protagonist, and there is more character growth in him then any other character in the poem, but his tale ends in tragedy. It's basically a mirroring of Anakin and his downward spiral into Darth Vader.
But yes, back to my original point, he's only this 'handsome bad-boy" character at the beginning. Later on he becomes unrecognizable as he follows his own selfish desires that only turn him more and more bitter. This poem isn't the first to describe Satan as a beautiful character, the Bible itself describes him as being the most beautiful angel in all of Heaven.
Captured in Words basically Melkor in the Silmarillion
Yes exactly! Tolkien actually based Melkor off of Satan. Melkor/Morgoth was the first "Dark Lord" and rebelled against his creator out of pride, choosing to corrupt Arda- it's basically the same thing with Satan.
Lool I only wrote two paragraphs and 3 sentences, it's fine ;)

Equating Paradise Lost to a piece of revisionist fan fiction is perfect
Also this was marvelously animated, voiced, and the funny lines of dialogue throughout was spectacular, amazing summary!
John Milton’s my (many generations back) great grandfather!! I’ve been trying to discover more of his work and this was amazing!!
Paradise Lost is his most famous work, did you not come across it before??
Not. Helping. Satan.
Ha! I've never had my existence summarized so succinctly before!
Back when I was reading this in college, a fellow classmate got VERY heated about a sympathetic Satan reading of this text. The teacher was having us read the text in this way because hypothetically empathizing with a character who has never been traditionally viewed as an empathetic figure, allowed us to view Satan's actions and mindset through an interesting philosophical lense. But MAN did it get uncomfortable having somebody who told us we were all going to hell for reading this text.
Long story short: "Our hero Satan" might sound laughable, but it was very fascinating to view God in more of a dictator role, and Satan as a Che Guevara character. But like all revolutionaries, Satan gets too big for his own good and hurts others for the sake of spiting God. If we can put down our collectively clutched pearl necklace for the sake of one alternative character study, we find some interesting ideas here.
As the Westboro Baptist Church says: God Hates.
As the ordo herectus would say death to the heretics.
As a Greek Pagan, I'm like, "That ain't the issue, it's the fact the Greek gods are now demons!"
Truuueeeeee
Again at least satan didn't drown the world destroy Egypt and send people to eternal torture

Never thought I’d cry over Satan but here we are

Lucifer: I DON’T HAVE DADDY ISSUES!!!!!

Something to add:

-Pats Hades-
It's ok buddy, we know you're a good guy.
Daughter-Of -Loki Hades: Wait I thought it just Greek and Egyptian Gods your Norse what are you doing here?
Loki: I just got done burning some Magnus chase books and I had nothing better to do.
I think a very important piece you missed is that Satan WAS a Heroic Figure. He's not just a "bad boy" with daddy issues, from Milton's POV Satan *was* a hero fighting against a tyrant. Paradise Lost was John Milton's (slightly confused, since he was deaf and half-blind and was reading this all out to his kids) way to reconcile the complications that arose from his analysis of the Bible and the Christian Faith in general. Satan was a Hero in the same way that Sisyphus is; by taking his punishment in stride and gaining pride from it. As an enormously powerful fallen Angel, Lucifer could've converted Hell into a new paradise; the title 'Paradise Lost' refers to both Eden AND Satan's version of Hell. At the beginning he DID make it the start of Paradise, with his castle. If he had stowed his angry feelings, accepted his punishment, and appreciated his new autonomy, he could've made a new homeland equal to Heaven in his own image.
In fact, this is pretty directly stated in the poem; Satan IS Hell.
"Me miserable! Which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is hell; *myself am hell;*
And in the lowest deep a lower deep,
Still threat'ning to devour me, opens wide,
To which the hell I suffer seems a heaven."
Satan, as the new ruler of Hell, could've made it a Heaven. But instead, he fell into his own despair, and became a snake. He threw off the freedom of his humanoid form and became a snake crawling across the ground like a worm instead, abandoning the chance to make his own world in exchange for ruining others. He was Hell, and by collapsing in on himself in the way he did, he ruined both himself and the land of Hell entirely.
That's why Satan's role in Paradise Lost is framed as a tragedy; because Satan gave up the opportunity to do something great by making a home for all the Fallen, but instead ruined everything over his Daddy Issues. Yes, the end-all deciding factor is Daddy Issues, but Satan's portrayal as a heroic figure is essential to understanding John Milton's view of why Eden was such a tragedy-- Satan destroyed TWO Heaven's with his selfishness and his pride, and that's frankly awful.
Now, John Milton was 50% insane by the time he wrote this, and it doesn't really conform to Biblical Canon in any way shape or form, but I feel like framing Lucifer as some petty guy in a leather jacket is a bit disingenuous to the original text lol.
As nicely said in video, POV is satan, so he shows himself as hero. What Christianity all agree on, Satan is liar. Moments of him feeling bad are ruined by him continuing his path. It is tragedy that Satan could have been hero, if he was less pridefull.
This is easily the funniest thing I've seen all week.
I just had a English society meeting (which are basically little lectures our teachers give us outside of class) and the topic was Milton. And the Paradise lost came up and I was able to impress the teachers by holding a (somewhat) sophisticated conversation on this, when in reality all I had done was watched this video 😂 Thanks Red!!!! ❤
the way you portray lucifer reminds me of that one scene in Supernatural when Lucifer locked himself in Sam's room and refused to talk to Chuck.
😂 Yes
The origins of portraying Satan go back to early Medieval times, when it was a tradition to caricaturize anything that caused fear so as to make it humorous and less threatening. Depicting Satan with horns, red skin and a forked tail was an early meme that was successful, if not Biblical. Thanks for making a difficult but important literary work so accessible.

Owen: Oh, Ok. So we shouldn’t have to-
God: I put Sin and Death in charge of the gate and told them not to let Lucifer out.
Owen: *WHAT!!!* YOU PUT HIS KIDS IN CHARGE?!?!?
God: You make it seem like a bad thing.
Owen: Wha- What was the logic in that?!?
God: Well, Lucifer (my son) wouldn’t listen to me, so logically they won’t listen to him.
Owen: *exasperated stammering* You know what? You don’t listen to me anyways, so why do I bother trying to change your mind now?
"however, our hero, Satan..."
**Laughs hysterically**
I once saw a guy driving a hearse, he looked exactly like comic book Lucifer. Gold hair, black suit, lighting a cigarette with one hand, while driving.

I would
According to Ezekiel 28:13, a probable reference to Lucifer, we learn that he is an amazing being to behold: "You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering: the sardius, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes was prepared for you on the day you were created."
