Paradise+Lost+(characters+and+relationships)

Satan- The Anti hero The creator of sin, Satan led the rebellion against God. Satan, originally named Lucifer by God was the most beloved by God. Satan believed that he could rule Heaven better than God himself therefore he gathered together his group of followers that would later be known as the Fallen Angels and declared war in heaven. Satan blamed his loss on God's use of thunder, but he was foolish to challenge God's strength and power. Satan and his Fallen Angels were then banished to hell where he would rule those who lived in sin, This was the creation of good vs. evil. Satan is admirable for his drive to make the best of his his new situation as well as his joy to finally rule his own realm.

God- The Antagonist The ruler of Heaven and creator of our universe, God feels compassion for all. Including Satan. God was upset by the uprising war between his favourite's army and his heavenly host.God's reason for keeping Satan alive and giving him his own realm out of God's light was for the followers of God because if they did not choose to follow God's scripture for themselves they could also follow for fear of going to Hell for an eternity.

Beelzebub- Satan's second in charge Believes that he and Satan had made a mistake after they had been cast down to Hell and shut out of God's light. He believes that God is the almighty because no one can defeat him. Beelzebub words his opinion very carefully as not to make his situation worse.
