Yeah, for real. Milton kicked off his redemption crap almost 350 years ago.

TBH Milton's devil wasn't supposed to be redemptive. We were supposed to sort of see where he was coming from but agree he was still ultimately evil.

Well then Milton totally misread his own fandom then, didn't he. All he did was get people starting to think that Devil guy had a point. Of course we ultimately got the Satanic Temple out of it, and they are doing a much better job campaigning for women's reproductive rights and opposing Republicans than the Democrats are, so maybe this Satan dude was pretty okay. Milton, you started a revolution even if you didn't mean to.

NAYRT

Nope, there is absolutely nothing redemptive about Milton's portrayal of Satan, and he did not misread his material at all. Satan has to have some attractiveness, some powers of persuasion, or he wouldn't be able to tempt anybody plausibly. But if you look at his noble-sounding rhetoric with any amount of attention, it turns out to be empty, barren and repetitive: it's just Satan claiming, over and over again, that everything he does is somebody else's fault. And that he has no choice--he says that over and over--so no, he's nobody's symbol of glorious freedom.

I see you don't have an actual argument based on the text, which doesn't surprise me, since you probably were too lazy to even read the Cliff Notes, baby girl.
