Re: What traditionally evil (or just generally less sympathetic) figure...

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.
