The sinner in this part is there because of betrayal to their benefactors. Lucifer was known as the most beautiful of angles just before he grew more powerful, and rebelled against God. He then was named Satan. One of
In the story Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, Jonathan Edwards would you different things such as thoughts or words in attempt to scare his congregation into obeying his word. First images of Hell would consist of the thought of fire, a burning room, fiery furnaces, and a gaping pit of flames. These thoughts alone would scare the people of his congregation but he also included the images of punishment or or the ways the God sees the people. These images would consist of God referring a human being to a spider that is being held over an open fire pit. This way of thinking did work in Edward’s time on his congregation but it did not last forever because his people became tired of hearing the same terrible thoughts every week.
He achieves this by expressing the wrath of God. One way is by comparing their plight and God’s rage to many unstoppable and destructive works of nature, such as floods and storms. He also compares his contempt to holding an insect over a fire, as well as the image of a taught bow and arrow. These images clearly convey the hopelessness of their situation, the ineffectiveness of pleading, the anger of God, and the terror accompanied by suffering of hell. He also shows how terrible this wrath and suffering is with much expressive language, as well as comparing the joy of Heaven to the misery of Hell with the gloating and watching of those in Heaven.

In “Paradise Lost” (By John Milton) Satan is an archangel that is punished for his thirst of forbidden knowledge,vanity, and arrogance. Like Satan, Victor tries to take over ‘God's’ role as creator and master of the universe. “The mind is its own place, and in itself it can make a heaven of hell, and a hell of heaven.” an excerpt of “Paradise Lost”.
Dialectical Journal #2 John Milton’s pensive epic poem Paradise Lost amplifies the fate of those who disobey God’s orders will follow the same consequences of banishment in hell as Satan and, his followers received. With Satan and his followers being banished from the heavens after disowning God's rules and starting a war, sent a land “one great furnace flamed, yet from those flames, no light” this place is named hell. Now that they are in hell redemption is wanted from the failure of the first war, Satan’s pride is too strong to let God have victory so he influences the other troops to join him to being another war upon the heavens again results to failure. Dramatic irony is featured in various parts in this poem.
In Dante’s Inferno, Dante Alighieri's depiction of Satan at the bottom of hell reveals the theme that in Hell the punishment is always befitting of the due to the fact that the lower you go, the farther that person is from god. The picture of Satan satisfies the reader because he shows that he is the opposite of god and that he is full of evil. Lucifer is the demon in the circles of hell which he has three faces, and bat like wings in which he creates the cold wind where the sinners suffer. “The face in the middle was red, the color of anger. The face on the right was white blended with yellow, the color of impotence.
The “intellect” itself can be deduced as being God. This version of Hell, however, was born from Dante’s mind after being banished from Florence. Much of the Inferno is written as satire, but the morals it holds still present themselves within the larger Catholic ideology. In Thomas Thayer’s The Origin and History of the Doctrine of Endless Punishment, he conducts a detailed analysis of the Bible’s hell and it’s origins.
In Dante’s Inferno, he writes about his journey through hell for the purpose of recognizing his sins. He goes through this journey with Virgil, a voice of reason for Dante. Dante meets people through his journey of the many circles in the Inferno that lead him down into the center of hell, where Satan is. Satan is seen as being monster-like with three heads, representing a mocking of the Trinity and blowing his wings around the cocytus river. The final thing seen here is the fact that Dante’s description of Satan is a bit disappointing compared to the other descriptions he has written about the inferno.
Great works of literature such as Dante’s: Inferno as well as One Thousand and One Nights contain similar themes such as religion, redemption, and love. These themes encompass the philosophical and religious ideas that can be found in both texts. Although Dante’s: Inferno is written on the base of Catholicism and One Thousand and One Nights is written on the base of Islam, the views we are presented with in both are not unique , but rather found in one form or another throughout history and in various cultures spread across the world.
Within John Milton’s books “Paradise Lost” he creates Satan as the greater character over God. One who works through the individuals to create havoc. Satan is able to skew the minds of man to do what he wants with that individual and to counteract the word of God. A well known example was then Satan manipulated Eve to eat from the fruit of knowledge of Good and Evil. Though some critics may say that within Eve was Satan’s ultimate defeat others may say Satan’s evil soul is embedded in Adam and Eve, soon enough they are kicked from the palace of lush gardens, and everlasting life.
The creator, Sandro Botticelli created the The Abyss of Hell in 1480. The Abyss of Hell was infulsed by his poem Inferno. In Sandro Botticelli descriped hell as a giant cave leading downwards thru the earth 's four layers until it reaches the center of the earth. In Sandro Botticelli 's poem he descriped that hell was broken up into nine rings, each ring represnted a different categorie of sin.
In Book II of Paradise Lost, by John Milton, suffering demons have a debate about the course of action that they are going to take in what seems to be a satire of a formal political debate. Four different demons spoke and each demon demonstrating both the nature of his own personality and the type of sin he represents. Moloch, Scepter King, argued for open war on Heaven. Next Belial spoke on behalf of a slothful method of hiding from God until God forget or forgives them. Mammon refuses to serve under god and proposes that they advance Hell into their own kingdom.
Although John Milton’s Paradise Lost remains to be a celebrated piece recounting the spiritual, moral, and cosmological origin of man’s existence, the imagery that Milton places within the novel remains heavily overlooked. The imagery, although initially difficult to recognize, embodies the plight and odyssey of Satan and the general essence of the novel, as the imagery unravels the consequences of temptation that the human soul faces in the descent from heaven into the secular realms. Though various forms of imagery exist within the piece, the contrast between light and dark imagery portrays this viewpoint accurately, but its interplay and intermingling with other imagery, specifically the contrasting imagery of height and depth as well as cold and warmth, remain to be strong points
To begin his mission, Milton devoted his first book of Paradise Lost to introduce Satan along with his falling angels in Hell attempting to plan a revenge on God. So, Satan is the central figure of book 1, a figure that Milton presents with plenty of epithets and with a magnificent energy and a personal pride. To what extent did Paradise Lost present Satan as a moral agent? Given the politics of the English revolution and restoration, how precisely should we interpret Satan’s language and policy in Hell? Did the spiritual poem reveal the 17th century religious beliefs or Milton’s ones?
