If there is a book out there that seem to make Satan a likeable figure, it must be Paradise Lost by John Milton. However that was not Milton's intention. The argument by Satan in Paradise Lost was very seductive that I can't but help feel for Satan in that book. Some critics have said that Milton wanted to prove that evil is seductive.


"Of Man’s first disobedience,
and the fruit of that forbidden tree whose
mortal taste brought death into the world,
and all our woe."
