Ellen Wefler's Ascending Angel

Milton’s Satan in Paradise Lost is a complex character meant to be the evil figure in the epic poem. Whenever possible Satan attempts to undermine God and the Son of God who is the true hero of the story. Throughout the story Milton tells the readers that Satan is an evil character, he is meant not to have any redeeming qualities, and to be shown completely as an unsympathetic figure. Satan’s greatest sins are pride and vanity in thinking he can overthrow God, and in the early part of the poem he is portrayed as selfish while in Heaven where all of God’s angels are loved and happy. Satan’s journey starts out as a fallen angel with great stature, has the ability to reason and argue, but by Book X the anguish and pain he goes through is

Erickson provides a foundation about angels and gives a background about demons. He classified angels per hierarchy and identifies those that are the closest to God and their assignments. On page 405 of Christian Theology, Erickson talked about Paul’s insight when he stated that the law was given by angels, and humans were made lower order than angels. Good angels follow the directive from God and bad angels follow Satan’s command

The Killer Angels is a stunning recollection of the telltale battle of the Civil War: the Battle of Gettysburg. Set from June 29 to July 3, 1863 and told from the vantage points of several soldiers and commanding officers from both sides, including Lee, Longstreet, and Chamberlain, Michael Shaara effectively paints a picture of the war that divided America, from the tactical planning to the emotional hardships

In her novel The Stone Angel, Margaret Laurence uses the stone angel monument to embody the qualities of Hagar . Over the course of the novel, Hagar reflects back on the memories that have made up her life. Hagar's loneliness and depression are self induced and brought on by her pride, lack of emotion, stubbornness and the ignorance which she has towards anyone's opinion but her own. The qualities of Hagar are identical with those possessed by the stone angel monument and paralleled by Laurence many times throughout the novel. The angel was certainly not a suitable statue to mark the death of Mrs. Currie as it was uncharacteristic of her. The statue of the angel is a more fitting representation of Hagar's father Jason Currie and hence

E-E-Evil god, why am I speaking with a evil god, I wasn't an angel when I was alive, but I certainly wasn't bad enough to me the devil.

He is created as a vigorous heroic individual whose commendable qualities have been demolished by such evil actions. Heaven is lost to Satan & his followers. Milton’s Satan represents more of a futile hero. Satan's heroic qualities show how he manipulated his followers, and identified his ability to corrupt and show the difference between good and evil. Satan was one of the highest angels in Heaven who was known as Lucifer. Lucifer fails and becomes Satan because of such pride he carried. Any type of heroism presented by Satan is corrupted by this vengeful pride. Due to that, God banned him from heaven. Satan always tried to be number one and outdo God, instead of following in God's pathway. He would have lived in Paradise forever, but he decided to listen to his pride. Another quality Satan carried was his ability to give speeches. Satan was able to persuade others to follow him in his uprising. While being able to persuade his followers, he also portrayed another quality, which was his excellence in battle. Satan is viewed as a leader by the other fallen angels when it comes to the battle. While being overwhelmed with thoughts of how he is going to confront God, he is still a hero to his followers due to going and facing him

Lucifer is the infamous angel who rebelled against God in hopes of becoming a God himself. He constructed an army of angels in opposition of God. Despite this, Lucifer was incapable of defeating God and was struck down from the Garden of Eden to hell. In Dante Alighieri’s Inferno, Dante and Virgil encounter Lucifer in the last circle of hell before they ascend to Purgatory. It is here in the circle of Judecca that Lucifer had been condemned for eternity as a result of his treachery against God. In my essay, I will argue that Lucifer’s location and physical attributes ironically reflect qualities of God in such a way that Lucifer becomes mocked. Dante Alighieri utilizes Lucifer’s characterization to illuminate the force of God’s divine power in The Divine Comedy.
