Satan can be seen as the protagonist of this poem, because he faces the constant struggle to defeat one of his greatest enemies, himself. HE must deal with his doubts and weaknesses to become his own hero. Milton creates a character in Satan, so seductive, that it makes us resonate with him, sympathize with his mistakes, even if it goes against our ideals. Milton's creation of Satan is a metaphor for evil's ability to lure us, even when we don't realize it. Yet he possesses a complex character, a reflection of ourselves, which makes his role in the epic understandable and much more relatable. Satan represents human error and his character embodies our feelings of envy and despair. Satan is a dynamic individual who requires a closer look at ourselves to begin his evaluation. Now Milton's God, in Paradise Lost, is an underdeveloped character, simply a bundle of vast ideas. He is not a relatable character, devoid of emotion. He is flat, a two-dimensional static individual without any depth. Tell, explain why things happen in a certain way. God allows evil to exist by offering his Son as a sacrifice. The son is the connection between God and Milton
