Jensen Ackles 'Place In The TV Show Supernatural'

In addition, here, as throughout much the poem, Satan continues to hedge the other side of the argument, insisting that he isn't forced to do evil by opposing God, but that "to do ill our sole delight" (160). This belief that he has a choice in the matter is tied up in the misconception that he was, and continues to be, equal to God, as "reason hath equall'd" (248) them.  Quite to the contrary, Milton makes it clear that "the will And high permission of all-ruling Heaven Left him at large to his own dark designs" (211-3).  And it is only Satan's perverted sense of reason that convinces him that "The mind is its own place, and in itself Can make a Heav'n of Hell, a Hell of Heav'n" (254-5).  He believes that his reason and contemplation will help him discover "How overcome this dire Calamity" (189), or failing that, change his will such that it fits his current circumstance.  This is the classic method of the delusional and disenfranchised, holding out hope for change, but at the same time putting forth the belief that the current situation can actually be beneficial.  The sophistry has shown through Satan's speech, as he declares that there is no way for God to beat him, in his mind, when we know he is already defeated.

Then Sal meets Dean; a wild, roguish character, and is so enchanted by him that he believes he can shape his own identity through being ‘like’ Dean. Hence, Sal takes to the road, planning to follow in Dean’s footsteps.

“O Hell!” Satan’s opening exclamation of frustration immediately alerts readers to Satan’s state of mind. As Satan gazes on Adam and Eve, he is struck by their blissful state, which sends him into a spiral of confusion as he slightly reconsiders his plan to destroy them. To himself, Satan addresses the pair; he begins regretful and with pity for Adam and Eve. He later shifts in tone to vengeful, envious, and angry. Further exemplifying Satan’s contrasting attitudes, Milton uses antonymous words of emotion throughout the passage. By the end of passage, Milton solidifies Satan’s hardening of heart and ends the struggle that has been festering inside Satan since his first act of rebellion against God. Milton successfully uses both the shift in tone and the emotional diction to reveal Satan’s stormy internal conflict.

In the story, as Satin is falling everything he touches and says turns into an evil that will later be a key part of the Biblical story such as, “He cried: “Death!” his fists stretched out in the empty dark. Later this word was man and was named Cain” (I), “Satan laughed, and spat towards the thunder. Filled by the visionary shadow, the immensity Shivered. This spitting out was later Barabbas” (I), and “The archangel felt himself become a phantom. He shouted: ‘Hell!’ This word later made Sodom” (IV). Hugo’s Lucifer/Satin doesn’t seem to be creating this destruction on purpose, instead, the destruction just seems to follow his actions and words whatever they are. It is like an employee that has been fired and assumes that the worst has already happened so they shout horrible things or even careless things as they leave only to find out that these words were damaging not only to those he said them to but to him and his future opportunities. It seems as though Satan’s words were shouted out of frustration and resentment not to create destruction. This is important because it gives us a sense of sympathy for

Lucifer keeps an eye on his son physically, in the form of a cat or through his devious servant Jasfoup who became a mentor and friend to Harold. After Jasfoup took care of Harold, he blackmails Lucifer by threatening to kill Harold unless he is promoted. Lucifer promotes Jasfoup, but wants to punish him for the blackmail as he says, “Now I shall blast you into Abaddon for your impertinence…He was going to kill you if I didn’t accede to his blackmail” (280). Harold begs on Jasfoup’s behalf that “[he would] have been dead soon without his help, and he has proved to be a good friend” (280). Lucifer chooses to forgive him, but warns that, “if [he tries] that stunt again, [he] will destroy [him] so utterly the angels won’t bother to spit on you come Judgement Day” (281). This response shows that Lucifer is powerful but he has the heart to forgive and he chooses

Zimbardo, in the beginning, uses the story of how Lucifer was transformed to Satan; from God’s favorite angel to the devil that runs hell, “Perhaps this image reminds you of the ultimate transformation of good into evil, the metamorphosis of Lucifer into Satan. Lucifer, the “light bearer.” Was God’s favorite angel until the challenged good’s authority and was cast into Hell along with his band of fallen angels.” (Pg. 3). Zimbardo explains how something good an Angel, Lucifer was

((AU! Warning. Please tell me if you are reading. Fledging!Castiel x Demon!Dean)) "Come out little fledgling, I know you're here." Dean's voice echoed slightly through the mostly empty isles of the library he had been commanded to investigate. The Demon had been part of the first wave sent to invade this part of heaven, killing the warriors that opposed them and taking the rest as prisoners and slaves back to Hell. The two races had been at war for centuries, fighting taking place in both Heaven and Hell, but tonight was a definite win for the Demons, having captured a town such as this. After the first initial attack against the various angelic dwellings Dean's leader, Alastair, had told him to check out outlying buildings for any hidden

Yeah well some of Lucifers points are stupid. He rolled his eyes a bit. "Yeah well you can keep thinking its fucked up but I dont really think it is." Who cares about the emotional benefits nowadays anyways Lucifer. But yeahh not everyone enjoys something up their ass but enough people do that its okay. "Possibly. Its not like Ive fully thought about how people get their kinks either. Its just a thing really." Eh who knows how horny teenagers actually are. Its not like were really part of that. But none of my friends care how they get off really. Simple things are stupid Lucifer. Sometimes you just need to think things through, imaging what could or couldnt happen. Its what he likes to do. Or well he does it even if he doesnt want to. Maybe

Lucifer's eyes widened now, he had figured they'd just slept together, to hear his brother say that they were actually mates took him by surprise. Demon mates were precious things and harming Amaimon would destroy Samael if he was telling the truth. He smirked, not caring about hands that wrapped cruelly around his neck. He had Samael by the short hairs now and he'd never let go "I'll cut you a deal brother."

The common dichotomy of good versus evil is as old as the story of the world, and is timeless in its relevance to almost everything we do in life. This simple concept is seen in many places throughout our society including pieces of literature. After reading Paradise Lost and Murder Mysteries, it is clear that Milton and Gaiman portray this dichotomy through Satan and God, however, they do so in two very different ways. In Paradise Lost, John Milton uses detailed language and imagery to develop a kind, powerful God, and a Satan that is an equal adversary of God. In Murder Mysteries, Neil Gaiman also uses specific language and imagery, however, he creates the opposite: a monstrous God, and a gentle Satan.

During the pre-academic age, a winged upright creature, adorned with gold and precious stones walks with God in the garden of God. This is Lucifer part of God's family in heaven. Lucifer's an archangel an upright being with wings. God ordained Lucifer in the music and gave him the world. Watchers are in the office of angels, they are angels watching over God's creation. Watchers being the supervisors

The ultimate symbols for good and evil aren't all that different. God’s most trusted warrior and the devil himself have more in common than one may think. Michael and Lucifer are similar in their love for their father, their celestial abilities, and the common wish to avoid the prophesied fight between them. Michael, the big brother, loyal to an absent father, and Lucifer, the little brother, rebellious of God's plan may have a few conflicting beliefs on how things should work, but that doesn't mean there are no similarities between the two.

I am very well aware that as an actor it is his job to perform his absolute best. His acting is beyond anything I have ever seen so far. I know that Jensen Ackels and Dean Winchester are two completely different people; however, the actor’s character is certainly what I am interested in. His attributes, mannerism, not to mention his loyalties are what appeals to me. In more than one way I can relate myself and those I hold dear to myself. I love everything about the Supernatural, but I don’t think that the show would be the same without Dean Winchester. Dean Winchester’s character means a lot to me. We all have this one thing that brings us joy on darker days. He is not just an actor to me. He is everything that I want to be in life apart from

Mephastophilis in this short quote has told Faustus that Lucifer is not as powerful as God and could be hinting to Faustus that there is no point in doing what he is. At another point in scene 3 there is an odd ambivalence in Mephastophilis, since he is loyal to Mephastophilis and seeks to damn Faustus, but he himself is damned and speaks freely of the horrors of hell to Faustus:

Through his work of Paradise Lost, Milton exposes his view that God allows suffering in order for a greater good of the human race to exist. Milton uses the Fall- both Satan’s and Adam and Eve’s- as a device to demonstrate human corruption, as each fall is “a step down from a higher being to a lower being”. Both the Fall of Satan and the Fall of Adam & Eve are falls away from a position of divine power to a position of chaos and disorder- something Milton illustrates as an undesirable event. Milton introduces Satan as a selfish, power-hungry character; similar to an individual of today’s society who believes they are the greatest- nobody can ‘one-up’ them. He inherently denies of the existence of a greater God, as that would discredit his own belief that he is the utmost being. Instead of blind denial, Satan instead builds up a power against God himself, in an effort to “contest the throne of Heaven” (slide). However, this in of itself is a hypocrisy on his own beliefs, as he cannot be autonomous in a search for autonomy, since he is unable to defeat God on his own. This is Satan’s first fall, because he has now relinquished his stance on denying a being greater than himself, and must maintain his uprising unless he wants to face what Milton would consider a second Fall. Milton uses Satan as a representation of disobedience within the human race; he is the ‘wrong direction’ in the two paths of moral decisions. He uses Satan to show that rebellion that stems from self-
