Words: 1501 / Pages: 6 .... "John is a physician, and perhaps- (I would not say it to a living
soul, of course, but this is dead paper and a great relief to my mind-) perhaps

stating it outright. Milton definitely portrays Satan's evil in Book four
by asserting that Satan is hell and that evil is his good because good has
been lost to him. (Bk. 4, lines 75, 108-110). Satan's moral state further
decays in Book nine as detailed in a soliloquy at the beginning of the book
by Satan. Satan recognizes his descent into bestiality after once being in
contention with the gods to sit on top of the hierarchy of angels. .....
