Hi, need to submit a 1250 words essay on the topic Paradise Lost: Compare Satan in Book 1 and Book 4.

The poem endorses the Biblical belief of enmity between humans and Satan, where the latter appears to be determined to seduce the descendants of Adam and Eve forever and ever in order to take revenge from the prestige the first parents of humanity had been blessed with by Almighty God the Lord in the form of bestowing man the superiority over all other creatures including the fish of the water and fowl of the air (Genesis 1:26). Satan appears to be an extremely haughty, revengeful and rebel creature, which looks resolute to administer a revolt against the Creator as well as Lord of the Empyrean just out of sheer jealousy and envy against man. Book I of the Paradise Lost depicts Satan to be extremely firm and resolute rebel, who could not be convinced to submit to the powers and blessings attributed to the Lord. Satan first appears in the epic under investigation in line 34, where he is determined to seduce the mother of mankind through deceit in order to satisfy his envy and revenge. Since it was Adam and Eve, creation of which caused Satan’s expulsion, along with other rebel angels from the heaven (I: 35-42), who had actually raised an impious war against God with the purpose of challenging the might of the Mightiest (I: 99). Somehow, instead of turning out to be triumphant in his vain attempt against the Lord, he is deprived of all the mirth and bliss he and his rebel companions used to enjoy during their abode in Eden, in order to experience torments and agony amidst the high flames of inferno subsequent to their revolt (I: 48-82). Though, the rebel angels, under the leadership of Satan, had lost everything they had been enjoying in heaven. nevertheless, such a tormenting and torturous state of affairs could not mitigate their passion altogether. Satan encouraged his companions to keep on their struggle against the Lord even amidst the myriads of anguish and sufferings in hell during his address to Beelzebub (I: 87-109). Satan is not afraid of the disgrace and humiliation his failed attempt had brought to him and his companions. On the contrary, he looks as firm as rock in defying the commands of the Lord. It is therefore, he encourages his fellow rebels in these remarkable words: “What though the field be lost? All is not lost. the unconquerable Will” (I: 105-106). Thus, these noteworthy words created by Milton not only demonstrate Satan’s resolute will of carrying out his resistance against man and his descendants, but also has become a symbol of steadfastness and dedication to one’s cause and objective. In lieu of submitting to the might of God, Satan appears to be maintaining his status and position as the Deity’s rival and challengers. It is therefore, he argues while addressing Beelzebub: “Here we may reign secure, and in my choice. To reign is worth ambition though in Hell: Better to reign in Hell, then serve in Heav’n” (I: 261-63). Neither massy, large and round ethereal temper (I: 285), nor any other agony could force him to surrender before the heavenly powers at any cost. In addition, Satan increases the morale of his aides and supporters by addressing them to be monarchs and warriors (I: 314-16), which would go to every limit in order to execute their mission of defeating the heavenly powers at any cost in order to prove God’s decision of bestowing supremacy upon Adam.
