>He's never read Paradise Lost

Reminder Satan was a edgy faggot, with a narcissistic complex.

I haven't read it. Do I need to read the bible first?

Why is Gustave Doré so great?

proly cos he spent all that time making graven images of satan

>>7229714
Well yeah, duh. Doesn't mean he isn't a great tragic character.

Not really. Being familiar with biblical history is enough

>>7229725
Ideally you'd have read the Bible, a bunch of protestant theology, Homer, Virgil, Shakespeare, Spenser and some English history, but really you don't need to read anything.

This. If you get a decent annotated version, you can make it out all right and still get a lot from it.

Reminder that Satan did nothing wrong.

literally everyone who reads more than genre fiction (and even then) has read paradise lost. You're not special
