God is a tyrannical dictator. "paradise lost "is the best part of vivid life. Satan is the real hero of the poem, because God had dictatorship, Satan convened angels to resist God, due to the limited strength, Satan got punishments from god,suffering pain in hell, he was powerless to resist heaven,but he came up with another idea ,only in this way ,he can win god who attempted to destroy human beings that God created. God knew the conspiracy of Satan, and then God want to test the human faith and love for him, At the same time,God told others not to touch the fruit on the tree,Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruits, God decided to punish them, but Satan was still want to revenge,Magnificent character image of Satan is considered to be a history of world literature described the most successful, one of the most incisively and vividly characters, Satan is not like other epic depicted in figures made earth-shattering feat, but his personality is distinct image and dare to against imperious God,the spirit of absolute authority give readers a deep impression.This thesis will analyze the dual character of Satans image,At the same time,analyzing historical background and author experience and life. 2. The Dual Character Of Satan Image Historically and traditionally, Satan is an evil in readers eyes, he damaged humans heaven ,because of his temptations, human beings came to the punishments of god, nevertheless, he made a mistake, In order to revenge, he damaged human beings happiness life, As a devil, Satan is not a blow collapse, simple fool, he has a kind of heroic spirit who was an angel, Satan is a clever angel, but when he dealt with a imperious God who used a wrong method. In order to struggle against people, he came up with lots of ideas ,so the human were cheated by him, from the angel to the devil, Satan finally fell, Satan is the core of paradise lost , he pushes the development of the whole story, at the same time, the author took part in their feelings in his works, author shape Satan image as a revolutionary image. Author pass on his idea to people through his work, Satan gave readers bright and vivid impression. because he dared to go against god ,although he was failed, at least he tried his best to revenge, he used out all ideas, because he know the truth of God's stratagem. in fact, God was selfish who put himself in a high place and created all things. In human's eyes, God gave human beings' kindness and mercy, However, God was purposeful in order to take charge of human beings. Satan want to expose God's truth ideas He struggled against God Who leaded angels coped God and then were casted into hell with his rebel angels2.1 The Image of Satan as a HeroSatan is indomitable, Satan's tenacious quality and the rebellion reflect on the pursuit of freedom and against the master of the universe, in the epic, Satan set up a loyal to their beliefs, Who stand for freedom of image, Satan wanted God to give him a supremacy, He leaded a part of angels pursuing freedom and rights. In the heaven, due to their strength was limited, first the resistance did not have a satisfactory result, Although Satan and other angles were punished he did not forgive, Satan used his wisdom to come up with a perfect idea, through damage happiness life of human to revenge God, From this, we can see Satan was a brave hero, In fact, he is the real hero in epic.2.1.1 Satan Owns the Spirit of Hero as a RevolutionistFirst of all, in authors eyes Satan was a great hero, representing the Milton bourgeois revolutionary ideas, without a doubt, the heroic spirit of Satan in the fight for freedom and peace is reflect on the spirit of dare to fight against the higher authority, overthrowing the dictatorship of God, leading part of the rebel angels to fight against God, but he was failed,. For the first time, he was threw into hell by God but Satan did not obey Gad s decree and got the chance to revenge with his companions, by inducing human depravity, destroying god's masterpiece beloved, finally god turned Satan into a snake. when Satan saw the rebellion of Satan, Who also predicted the fall of man to challenge such a arrogant God, Satan gave readers the bright and vivid impression, In order to pursuit freedom and democracy , equality, Satan believe gods wisdom is equal to the angel, Satan thinks god is just superior strength, Satan also believe that god put themselves in a high place, created all things, not out of kindness and mercy for human, but for selfish purposes, God use his power to take charge of human, let human obey on his decree ,but Satan despise such obedience, he hated that forever is not pure state of slaves, so he is going to replace god, let God knew he did not believe words of God, the end of the yield of endless Satan is a leader can politician, with superhuman courage, when his companions frightened, his shouted, wake up, up, or you go down. He show a heroic leader, we say that Satan is a hero, is not only that he dared to resist, but also had the encouragement to pursue freedom, when he was punished by God he still had unyielding spirit and optimistic attitude, Satan in the field of spirit is a real big hero, a leader. Although finally failed, in the spirit indeed is a great hero. At least, he dared to resist.2.1.2 Satan's Acumen and Boldness When it comes to the wisdom of Satan, Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit is the best example of the rebellion, because Satan did not have freedom in the heaven ,and in the matter of conspiracy to destroy life, at that time, Satan founded a new scope of activities, from the Garden of Eden he saw human life in happiness and well-being, he thought he should have such happiness life, he had jealousy on the heart, so he decided to draw them to rebelled against god, let human bear the punishment, angel warned Adam and Eve to guard against Satan's scheme, because he is tireless efforts against them, when they obey God, God would protect them if they got Satan's temptation and believe Satan, their nature would fall. no resistance to defeat the ability of Satan, God used the tree to test humans loyalty , let them take care of all fruit, at the same time, plus a ban on orchard, but if they did not obey the will of God in this matter, they will be punished. Due to Satan's ability is limited, Satan can't lure them elsewhere, only from forbidden tree to entice them, if they want to explore the properties of the tree, they must be tempted by cunning. Satan in order to finish his work, not to be found, he used the snake as a medium, this is the most appropriate disguise, he tried to work at that time, the snake is the most clever and the most beautiful animal on the ground, it lied on the branches, a sweet of forbidden fruit, it's really pleasing sights, while Eve left her husband, she walked around, after a while, she came to arrive that tree, and when she saw that the fruit is very beautiful, the heart can not help but question, why not let them to eat fruit? When the opportunity came, Satan intended to strike up a conversation with Eve and told her the truth of forbidden fruit. Eve heard the words that she became more curious, Satan used his sweet and continue to speak to her, praising her beauty and wisdom. encouraging her to eat the forbidden fruit, she not only didn't walk away but also still stay and listen to the snakes words , Eve said to Satan" Of each tree in the garden we may eat; But of the fruit of this fair tree amidst The garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat Thereof, nor shall ye touch it, lest ye die" Satan said: "Of each tree in the garden we may eat; But of the fruit of this fair tree amidst The garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat Thereof, nor shall ye touch it, lest ye die"(Paradise Lost. Milton. Book9) and then Satan said“ look on me, who have touched and tasted; yet both live, And life more perfect have attained than Fate Meant me, by venturing higher than my lot. Shall that be shut to Man, which to the Beast Is open? or will God incense his ire For such a petty trespass? and not praise”(Paradise Lost. Milton. Book9)Eve listened to Satan, she began to distrust Gods words, Satan picked a fruit, on the Eve hands, and let her to recall her own life, god forbid them to eat fruit, in order to avoid disaster, Satan told eve, he touched it but no harm, and he eat it so much, eve did not saw any difference what Satan action, eve begin to believe Satans trick so she took off the fruit to eat, The fruit tasted delicious, and she feel energetic when eat a kind of the fruit, and think that she was into a higher position, and he picked another fruit, Eve offend order what god regulated, she became revenge tool of Satan, Eve in a natural and not excited state took all fruit to Adam, Adam got angry, showing respect and fear. He listened to the voice of Eva and realize this is a trap, he realized the enemy came, then Eve told Adam to eat, and that god said“ This tree is not, as we are told, a tree Of danger tasted, nor to evil unknown Opening the way, but of divine effect To open eyes, and make them Gods who taste;” (Paradise Lost. Milton. Book9)Adam saw his partner had transgressed the commandment of God, she ate forbidden fruit, she will be punished, he hated himself that he shouldn't let Eve alone, Eve was part of his body, he did not want to separate, so he decided to share interests, if she must die, he was willing to accompany, so Adam decide to take the consequence, and then picks up the forbidden fruit to ate , just like that Satan used his wisdom to tempt Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, even though the behavior of Satan is evil, he is wise.2.2 The Image of Satan as a Devil Milton wanted to make Satan into a
