The Pleasure and Diquietude Caused by Satan in Paradise Lost

…

…and disquietude is demonstrated well in that Satan uses determination, cunning, and manipulation to attain his goal of corrupting the human race. The reader experiences pleasure from the idea that Satan is a being that would never give up on the goal that he is reaching for. On the other hand, he causes disquietude in that he is determined to demean the human race and that the reader commends him, an evil and immoral being.
