论《失乐园》中撒旦的形象
AnanalysisofSataninParadiseLost
摘要
约翰·弥尔顿是英语文化历史上非常有名的一位作家。
他的著作—《失乐园》是英语文化史上的一座里程碑。
在约翰·弥尔顿所有的著作中,《失乐园》是最复杂,最难理解的一部作品,并为他赢得了永久的荣誉.他的史诗使得撒旦的形象更加生动,更加具有人性,并且使其在某些方面成为了一名特殊的英雄。
弥尔顿用了很多的语句来描写撒旦对他的追随者所做的雄辩。
撒旦追求自由,但是却不能用暴力手段得到他想要的.这就是撒旦在弥尔顿的著作中具有一种矛盾性。
尽管弥尔顿用了一种积极的态度来描写撒旦,但是撒旦邪恶的本性却从未改变.他的矛盾情感鲜明地遍及整个诗篇。
这种矛盾的情感吸引了众多批评家的目光,引起了几个世纪的争论。
本文通过分析撒旦在《失乐园》中的形象,使得人们获得一种不同的视角来重新审视邪恶的撒旦.他的字句反映了他毕生所挚爱的自由,同时暗示通过暴力方式所进行的革命终将会失败,这也体现了弥尔顿自己的意志与精神.
