the english romantic poet percy bysshe shelley once made the following statement about paradise lost:
"nothing can exceed the energy and magnificence of the character of satan as expressed in paradise lost. it is a mistake to suppose that he could ever have been intended for the popular personification of evil."
in light of this statement, examine the claim that satan in paradise lost is not merely evil personified but rather a misunderstood character. develop an argument for or against the claim using evidence from the text. answer in five or six paragraphs.

The distorted notions of invisible things which Dante and his rival Milton have idealized are merely the mask and the mantle in which these great poets walk through eternity enveloped and disguised. It is a difficult question to determine how far they were conscious of the distinction which must have subsisted in their minds between their own creeds and that of the people. 
Dante at least appears to wish to mark the full extent of it by placing Riphæus, whom Virgil calls justissimus unus, in Paradise, and observing a most heretical caprice in his distribution of rewards and punishments. And Milton's poem contains within itself a philosophical refutation of that system of which, by a strange and natural antithesis, it has been a chief popular support. Nothing can exceed the energy and magnificence of the character of Satan as expressed in Paradise Lost. It is a mistake to suppose that he could ever have been intended for the popular personification of evil. Implacable hate, patient cunning, and a sleepless refinement of device to inflict the extremest anguish on an enemy, these things are evil; and although venial in a slave are not to be forgiven in a tyrant; although redeemed by much that ennobles his defeat in one subdued, are marked by all that dishonours his conquest in the victor.
Hope it heps :)
