Paradise Lost Questions

Full credit

1. After his defeat, Satan is now tortured by lost happiness and lasting pain that accompanies being forced to live in Hell for all eternity.

2.
a) Satan means that his attitude, and any other fallen angel’s, will allow them to preserve their horrible conditions because they can make a horrid place livable.

b) It shows Satan’s optimism and his passion to avenge God. Even though he is stuck in the most wretched places, he finds the good in it.

3.
a) Satan wants to avenge God with the help of all the other fallen angels, who will seek their vengeance also. Satan wants to govern Hell benevolently.

b) These plans are a cliffhanger for the rest of the books in Paradise Lost. At this moment, it appears that Satan will try to battle God again, and there may potentially be other battles with the other, less prominent fallen angels. These climaxes create excitement in the reader, and thus suspense.
