@karidineva the movie for paradise lost isn't out yet. I hear rumors on the internet the movie is coming out sometime in 2013

wow...just wow so epic. wish i was there to comfort Lucifer when he was cast out of heaven like that

@Stardweller1 Many argue that Milton set out to condemn Lucifer/Satan (depending on whether you refer to him by his pre- or postlapsarian state), but was enthralled and captured by the tragic heroism of the character. You can't help but see that Lucifer is portrayed as conflicted, but at the same time resolute, and both needlessly arrogant as well as righteously proud.

@Babs44sun Well, yeah, it wasn't exactly all-around simple, but Satan still struck me very much as the bad guy, or at least the antagonist. Milton was at least clear that he wasn't "good."

[Babs44sun]

@Stardweller1 well, if you are alluding to the interpretation of the traditonal god good and satan evil, i think personally its a lot more complex than that.

[Stardweller1]

@Babs44sun Er...really? That's certainly not the impression the poem gives me.

The pictures of Gustave Dorè are amazing!
