In his exile, Satan went from a high angel to a humble bastard, alienated even from the demons who accompanied him; his disobedience and temptation to disobedience help connect Milton's work as a whole, and because of his envious quarrel with God, he unknowingly gives God a way to save humanity - through the sacrifice of the Son . As soon as humanity sets itself aside, even in a profoundly religious text, the revelation of the suffering of others suddenly appears; perhaps man is a victim of his own arrogance, just as Satan was a victim of his own arrogance.
