Quotes  fromParadise Lostby. John Milton
"Raised impious war in Heaven, and battle proud,/ With vain attempt. Him the Almighty Power/ Hurled headlong flaming from the ethereal sky," (Horton 323). Satan, also known as Lucifer at that time, believed that he was equal with God. He raised a rebellion and led one-third of the angels against the rest. Satan lost the battle, and was thrown out of heaven. This is significant because it was the start of evil in the world.
"That comes all; but torture without end/ Still urges, and a fiery deluge, fed/ With ever-burning sulfur consumed." (Horton 324). Hell is a place of never ending torment. It was created as a place for Satan and his followers to be kept. Hell is a vital part of the Story since it is the end for all those who are unsaved.
"Out of our evil seek to bring forth good,/ Our labor must be to pervert that end,/ And out of good still to find means of evil;" (Horton 326). Everything that we do is as dirty rags in front of God. Our works amount to nothing. Even if we do things that we consider “good”, it’s still not even close to being good in God’s eyes. Luckily, those who have Jesus as their Savior can be pure through Him. This is an important thing to know in order to understand man’s sinfulness.
"Is this the region, this the soil, the clime,/ Said then the lost Archangel, this is the seat/ That we must change for Heaven?" (Horton 329). Satan realizes what he lost, and the glorious heaven is not even comparable to the mournful hell. This is essential because it shows how truly horrible hell is, and how Satan regrets leaving such a wonderful place.
"Here grows the cure of all, this fruit divine,/ Fair to the eye, inviting to the taste,/ Of virtue to make wise; what hinders then / To reach, and feed at once both body and mind?" These were the fatal words that the serpent spoke to Eve to tempt her into eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. She ate it, believing that it would make her like God. This is significant because this was the fall of mankind. This is what made the world full of sin. Evil entered the world through this.
