Classics Summarized: Paradise Lost

- I gotta say, I've talked about a lot of nominal heroes in my time on the internet, but Lucifer's gotta be the nominal-est of them all.
The funniest part about this book is, it was supposed to be firmly anti-Satan. We were supposed to hear the lies Satan was telling about how things went down and despise him even more for making it sound believable. Unfortunately, all he did was make it sound believable, and the end result was that Satan became a sympathetic character for the first time in his life. Way to go, Milton; your propaganda backfired in the most hilarious of ways.
I'm told that Milton, who had become blind by the time he wrote this, dictated the entire text to his daughters. The presumed translations the text went through as a result might serve to help explain why Satan is presented so… sympathetically. cough sexy bad boy /cough

OKAY BUT THAT ENTIRE EXCHANGE WAS PURIFIED GOLD
Fun fact:
In the book of Genesis, early versions of the Bible don't quite refer to Satan's form in Eden as a snake. In fact, the word used is closer to "Leviathan". So instead of a cute little snake, take a minute to imagine Eve seeing a massive serpentine abomination talking to her, not thinking it's weird, actually listening to it, AND going along with what it says.
Sounds METAL !
reference?
Funner fact:
The original garden of eden story really did just feature a snake, but Satan was likely never intended to be associated with the snake. The misconception of Satan being the snake comes from the book of revelation, where he is referred to as an "ancient serpent". And that ancient serpent is leviathan, but NOT the garden of eden snake.

It's not as fun though is it Jae Elise, I mean seriously Satan is a tempter and deceiver throughout the gospels and the acts, what would you rather Satan be? a throw away reference to the book of psalms, its self an old, hardly reference to Leviathan and God's initial pre Judaic relationship as being of chaos and storm god duking it out, or rather, identifying Satan as the serpent in the garden of Eden, the first tempter the first deceiver, finally tying up a strange loose thread that hung without remedy since the first book of the bible? I'm sorry but I for one prefer the widespread interpretation, Satan being the serpent and Leviathan being just another fish in the sea. A more dangerous and violent fish, but one firmly under God's dominion
@@daniele7989 Oh I'm totally with you on that! I think pop culture Satan is way more interesting as a character than actual biblical Satan. I was just pointing out what the author(s)' original intentions likely were.

@@your_local_lucifer Thats pretty much it, drove by me in a second. I based a DnD character on him though.
Bro legit saw Satan
One inaccuracy is that it's not that Eve gets bored of the story, but remembered she still had some work that wasn't finished and left, telling Adam that she'd rather hear it in his words anyway. This is because the story makes a point of how extremely pure of heart in love the two are with each other, to the point that their pre-fruit eating arguments are more like short-lived disagreements where they don't even get angry.
And the book also makes a point of how fruitless (pun not intended) everything Satan's doing is. His idea is that it's better to rule in Hell than serve in Heaven, but as the story progresses, his philosophy gets proven wrong time and time again and it's just him grasping at straws to justify what he's doing. The story's more of a character study on the Devil more than revisionism.
Well it makes many changes from the actual work in Genisis. The actual text neither mentions Satan and also doesn't say that Eve is more to blame then Adam and really doesn't hint to that either. Are you saying it's not a rewriting of Chrisitan Theology? Rather then not a rewriting on the actual story in the text?
@@netanellinzer9364 I realize that the youtube comments are not an ideal place for biblical exegesis, buuut...
Genesis 3 (the account of the fall) does not mention Satan, but does give the serpent an extensive part in the temptation of Eve. While the Jews (who have never had much of personification of Satan/Evil, especially not before the Babylonian captivity) don't read Satan into this particularly, it has been a very long (and exegetically reasonable) Christian interpretation to say that the talking snake was in some way Satan - it being an established fact that snakes don't talk, and also that the snake is saying stuff that sounds very Satan-like.
In regard to accountability of Eve Vs. Adam, I'd reference Genesis 3:6: "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat." While it's possible to interpret this to give completely equal responsibility, you have to push the text pretty hard to get that result - eisegesis. The most natural reading very much gives Eve the agency; . It's undeniable that there is some shared responsibility, as the poem acknowledges ('he did eat'), but it doesn't follow from that that the responsibility is divided exactly evenly.
@ryanjensen1945 I am jewish so coming from the Jewish perspective and the plain reading of the text the snake while the tempter is not satan(and of course jews don't have a beleif in Satan). As for your point about Chava/Eve. You are right that a plain reading puts her at more fault than Adam. But a plain reading also makes that diffrence very small. It seems that Adam needed no convincing at all to eat.
@@netanellinzer9364 That's fair. I would argue that a writing which includes the details of the accepted interpretation of the text is not 'making changes from the text' in doing so - what Milton says about the snake is completely consistent with what Moses says about the snake, just with additional detail/information. It's a viable position to say he's wrong, but not that he's contradicting the biblical text.
@ryanjensen1945 that's fair. I guess I see additions to the text. Even accepted ones differently then most people. I see them as going against the plain reading. Of course I then do them too so I'm a hypocrite there. But that is fair. Thank you for the discussion

I wasn't the only one to notice
Yup.

Heha that’s funny I just realized that
Jesus: "See, Eve, this is why you don't make decisions without your husband."
Lucifer: "Oh, please. You think I couldn't get _that_ guy to do something stupid? I'm the Father of Lies, and he's not even wearing pants!"
Adam: "AAAH! I'm not even wearing pants!"
Jesus: "Not _helping_, Satan."

Satan: Ha! I’ve never had my existence summarized so succinctly before. Call me when Dad makes you suffer and die for these losers. I’ll just be over here, ruling in Hell! Hahahahahahaha!
Red: ... Daddy issues?
Satan: I heard that!
It's only slightly undercut by the implication that women can't do anything smart without men, **so sayth God**. Wonder how Milton would have reacted to the Sufferage Movement...
@handle
I mean, guys tend to do stupid things... alot... without a gal to reign us in. Man and woman compliment each other, and neither husband nor wife should make big decisions like doing the one thing God forbade without consulting the other.
+@@abzhz101handle9 Trust me, that's not an implication, that's directly stated in Paradise Lost. "He for God and she for God in him," "Mind thy inferior," and all that. The implication is that Adam fell even before Eve took the apple by letting Eve have freedom and listening to her suggestions over what they should do, which Milton claims is the man's role as "natural commander" and "superior creation." Thus, Adam went against nature by letting Eve take charge.
I took a whole class on Milton and my research paper was a 17 page spite-fueled argument about how Milton actually defeats his own stated attempts to logically justify of the actions of God by treating Eve as a tool to also try to justify the various ideas about women in his misogynistic view of the world, which inherently conflict with each other because misogyny isn't logical and if Eve is inferior as he repeatedly states in order to justify his own time's misogyny then she can't be more culpable than Adam, or even _equally_ culpable, for the Fall, and God punishing her more than Adam is irrational. Basically Milton needed Eve to act as villain and temptation more than a simple apple because he wanted to make Adam a tragic Epic hero, and without woman to blame, Adam isn't any kind of hero, and Milton was willing to contradict his own argument that God is rational to do so.
If he were still here with us, Milton would be so far against women's sufferage he'd probably be an OG Men's Rights member - if he thought women persecuted men by their _existence_ (which he did), he would _not_ be able to handle modern day. A Modern Milton would be one of the antifeminist "Rationals" on the internet who get made fun of by HBomberguy and can't accept that their beliefs aren't actually rational.
I love the idea of Satan realizing just how bad his idea was. "Aw fuck. Why didn't I think this through!"
"Awesome. This was a terrible idea."
I can't believe I'm actually saying this but Satan's a mood.
I mean isn't he the DEFINITION of the trope?
No. Oh no. He isn't the definition of the trope, he IS the trope.
Wait, so is Paradise Lost a fan fiction prequel to The Bible. Cool.
Yes and no. Milton supposedly asked the holy spirit to reveal to us about the mysteries, but instead invited satan himself in to perverse the holy teachings. Paradise Lost still does not make any sense.
*blasemy the holy teachings. Sorry it is late at night.
I have a question that some people consider Lucifer and Satan as separate beings and some like a transition which one is more acceptable?
Totally depends on how people view him. We do not know much about him. I do not know for sure. This is what I studied so far. Yes and no. Some satanists still call him Lucifer. Since God made his creations, they are not evil. In all honesty, I do not belive satan is evil. He is just doing evil stuff just prove to God that he can become God without being one with him ( by not getting God's help). Satan is ignorant. He does not understand why God gave him those blessings. He does not want to understand since he has pleasure in being in despair and his pride. He belives that he knows everthing and that he would be a better God by allowing everyone to do anything they desire. He is trying to prove that to God. He loves to get people into despair. Even being in despair is still forgivable if ones repents for it. Everything is forgiveable if you repent. I already asked the holy spirit. I'm Orthodox. I am still hoping that satan and his followers will repent.
He is trying to prove to God to get what he wants.
This just reminds me of those two statues of Satan. The first was banned from the church it was made for because the priest thought it was too hot and would tempt the ladies of the church into sin and the one that replaced it was made by the sculptor’s brother and was equally sexy but more modest so it was kinda allowed. it's truly an amazing story.
It goes to show humanity would easily sell their soul if the one asking them is hot.
Haigo Li
I.... I can't argue against that cos I definitely would lol
What are the sculptures called, who created them, which church banned the one, and allowed the other?
@@yansakuya1
It's both sad and hilarious how true this is.
WHY WOULD YOU MAKE A STATUE OF SATAN IN THE FIRST PLACE???
I actually like most of the sexy Satan stereotypes, if he’s meant to be bragging and narcissistic, there’s really not much you can do in terms of bragging if you’re ugly, and everything you do is ugly, plus being hot Lucifer falls in line with the original sin of temptation, as it’s a lot easier to seduce someone when you look like someone who can be played by Tom Ellis. It also makes sense when Lucifer commonly represents the sin of pride
I think a very important piece you missed is that Satan WAS a Heroic Figure. He's not just a "bad boy" with daddy issues, from Milton's POV Satan *was* a hero fighting against a tyrant. Paradise Lost was John Milton's (slightly confused, since he was deaf and half-blind and was reading this all out to his kids) way to reconcile the complications that arose from his analysis of the Bible and the Christian Faith in general. Satan was a Hero in the same way that Sisyphus is; by taking his punishment in stride and gaining pride from it. As an enormously powerful fallen Angel, Lucifer could've converted Hell into a new paradise; the title 'Paradise Lost' refers to both Eden AND Satan's version of Hell. At the beginning he DID make it the start of Paradise, with his castle. If he had stowed his angry feelings, accepted his punishment, and appreciated his new autonomy, he could've made a new homeland equal to Heaven in his own image.
In fact, this is pretty directly stated in the poem; Satan IS Hell.
"Me miserable! Which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is hell; *myself am hell;*
And in the lowest deep a lower deep,
Still threat'ning to devour me, opens wide,
To which the hell I suffer seems a heaven."
Satan, as the new ruler of Hell, could've made it a Heaven. But instead, he fell into his own despair, and became a snake. He threw off the freedom of his humanoid form and became a snake crawling across the ground like a worm instead, abandoning the chance to make his own world in exchange for ruining others. He was Hell, and by collapsing in on himself in the way he did, he ruined both himself and the land of Hell entirely.
That's why Satan's role in Paradise Lost is framed as a tragedy; because Satan gave up the opportunity to do something great by making a home for all the Fallen, but instead ruined everything over his Daddy Issues. Yes, the end-all deciding factor is Daddy Issues, but Satan's portrayal as a heroic figure is essential to understanding John Milton's view of why Eden was such a tragedy-- Satan destroyed TWO Heaven's with his selfishness and his pride, and that's frankly awful.
Now, John Milton was 50% insane by the time he wrote this, and it doesn't really conform to Biblical Canon in any way shape or form, but I feel like framing Lucifer as some petty guy in a leather jacket is a bit disingenuous to the original text lol.

The origins of portraying Satan go back to early Medieval times, when it was a tradition to caricaturize anything that caused fear so as to make it humorous and less threatening. Depicting Satan with horns, red skin and a forked tail was an early meme that was successful, if not Biblical. Thanks for making a difficult but important literary work so accessible.

Best part of this video is Red covering Adam and Eve with “Nope” signs
2:25 Lucifer: *Straight up falls from heaven*
Osiris: (welcoming) “Why hello there, Luce!”
Hades/ Pluto: (Confused) “Who the heck is he and why is he in the underworld?”
Set: *Looks up*
“Did someone just take my job?”
Hades: hEY WAIT THAT'S APOLLO-

We could have something from Japan
I do not want to have tentacle monsters next to me
I'd rather that be in the bedroom with/from Hades

@@Shadethewolfy ummm, yeah, I'm not gonna think about that.
@@elementoproductions6005 Why, cause you're a coward? XD
"I'm the Father Of Lies, He's not even wearing PANTS...." yeah I lost it there. Haha!!!!!
jonnie Vasquez I know, I had to reply that line and the part that follows so many times. It was genius. I just wish those were lines on a show for him.
jonnie Vasquez hol
I loved that part too cuz in the story of the beginning , Adam and Eve realize they are naked after they eat the apples,so this just made it funnier
I love how we had to be reminded that this was all satan like 12 times because in this, Satan is so much of a charismatic Beast that it's hard to forget he's the Prince of darkness.
More like an idiot with daddy issues.
I think it's interesting to note the differences between Paradise Lost and Dantes inferno regarding Satan and hell in general.
In the first, Satan is a sexy, charismatic and interesting main character in a hell he rules.
In Dantes inferno he is a pathetic ugly monster half frozen in a lake in perpetual agony, imprisoned and ruling nothing.
In Dantes inferno, hell isn't the domain and design of Satan but a carefully crafted prison for him and all unrepentant sinners.

"LUCIFER GET BACK AND PICK THAT UP"
*YOURE NOT MY REAL DAD*
"IM EVERYONES REAL DAD"

Just the tone of voice for that line is brilliant. Love the way you handled Eve in this summary.

Eve: Why did Sympathy for the Devil start playing?
Fuck the first two people in this reply section for not respecting each others personal opinions and interests.
As an agnostic, I find this hilarious! I love your content and keep up the good work!
5:26 WHY DID IT TAKE ME SO LONG TO REALIZE THAT WAS SUN WUKONG FROM JOURNEY TO THE WEST
Your Satan voice is eerily reminiscent of Bill from Gravity Falls. Just sayin'
REALITY IS AN ILLUSION THE UNIVERSE IS A HOLOGRAM BUY GOLD BBBBBYYYYYEEEE!!!!!!
I thought the exact same thing while watching this.
This actually explains a lot.
Julia Day wait, what about claptrap?
THAT MAKES TOO MUCH SENSE
A demand an animatic / web-series of sexy satan just messing around or trying to solve his daddy issues now.
Would a buddy cop tv show do?
it exist and its called Lucifer :)
Hannah Mclusky YESSSS
that would be interesting
@@acedragon1456 Well do I got news for you
The little expressions on the snake when tempting Eve are so amazing and adorable. I want a Satan-snake
Aphrodite musing a new OTP with Satan is adorable
"I'm the father of lies! He's not even wearing pants!"
OH MY GOD, I'M NOT WEARING PANTS!
...not helping, Satan
"Ha! Never has my entire existence been summed up so succinctly."
Curt Clark Call me when dad makes you suffer and DIE for these losers! I'll just be over here... Ruling in Hell AHAHAHAHA!
Angry Yogbuscus Also depending on who you ask, he DID trick Adam.
Some interpretations say Eve wasn't punished because Adam was told not to touch the fruit. But when he saw Eve eat it, he assumed it was safe. So by getting the innocent one to break the rules he tricked the guy who KNEW better.
"AA!! I'm not even wearing pants!
@@Juniper_Rose There are also interpretations that the whole story is an allegory for growing up. Eating the apple is the loss of innocence we all experience when we become adolescents. Eating the Apple is sex. The arguments for this go back to referencing texts from Sumer and Egypt and even Inuit myths and stem from the monomyth hypothesis, and is too complicated to explain here. It took about 4 weeks of class to go through the Adam and Eve story.
8:18
Zeus, Satan's definition of 'screwing with someone' and your definition are WILDLY DIFFERENT
Yeah, while not appropriate for mixed company I only ever refer to that Greek god as "fucking Zeus" because it's both unfortunately accurate and the only way to vent frustration with the guy, because well....
Eve would've been pregnant waaaaay sooner.
Good thing i'm not the only one that noticed the music
6:55 They HAD to know what they were doing with the use of the freaking snake as the censor there 😂
I love how romantic it seems when Adam says to pass him one of those apples.
He knows her personality well enough to see nagging is useless and the deed is done, so all that’s left is to watch her fall and give up another rib to replace her, or fall with her.
"I'm the Father of Lies. He's not even wearing pants!" hahahahahahahahaha!
AAAHHHH!!! I'M NOT EVEN WEARING PANTS!!!
ZachValkyrie blues best line ever lol
NOT helping, satan!
Hah! I've never had my existence summarized so succinctly before.
"Ugh."
5:09 God: "OH FOR MY SAKE"
I laughed a little to hard at that
Satan saying "What the here" is also excellent
This is probably the most OSP video on this whole channel.
Like, few videos will get more OSP than this.
I love it.
Also, this whole video lives rentfree in my head. There are just way too many good quotes in it!
I feel like it's definitely near-peak sarcasticness.
XD that little fourth wall break near the end where satan hears red dissing him is just priceless
"Yes, I know the first answer is 'the internet' in which literally everything is reimagined to be sexy" Rule 34.

buuuut didn't he just NOT NOTICE when god switched out Lilith and Eve?
In the book, it’s super poetic and sweet when he says it too. “You are flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone, and from thy state, mine shall never be parted. Bliss or woe.”
In both ways 👀
I love how Blue voiced Jesus and Red voiced pretty much all the demons. I headcanon Blue as an angel and Red has shown herself to be a demon so...
5:43 So the inciting incident of Paradise lost is literally just Toy Story?
I want to see you recap the ENTIRE Bible!!!! It would make it WAY more interesting!
@@redjaywizchannel4011 I think I'll stick to Hana and Jake's Bible Reloaded instead P:
The Bible Binge is a really good Bible recap podcast, I'd recommend it if you're interested in that kind of stuff
Idk this channel usually does myths and legends so if they did the Bible I think there would be so controversy. I mean I’d love if she and Blue did it but still, there are some *people* out there.
@@corndogthemagnificent2212 To be fair, they've done stuff about Hinduism, which is still a live religion with active followers. As a Catholic I'd love to see a Bible recap!

However our hero Satan
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
5:01 just in case you want to hear that over and over again 😁

Mr. Satan is a great hero! How else could he have beaten Cell, Majin Buu, _and_ Lord Beebus?
coyote47713 yeah

As a Christian, this is comedy GOLD. I can totally imagine God/Jesus being like they were in the video. (“Alright, kids, pool’s closed.” 😆😆😆)
Also (as a Christian), nothing beats depression more than making fun of Satan while watching this video. Seriously, it’s one of my favorite things to do when I’m depressed and there’s no good reason why. So thanks for that!
The voice acting in this video is way better than anything else you guys have done and I'm all for it
Are we not gonna mention how well the wings were drawn? Daaaang. Wings are impossible.
Very appealing design, too.

8:19 ......... is that Zeus in the background saying "I could have screwed with them better you Hack" in the background? $20 bets he means it BOTH literally & figuratively.

Does anyone know what the song playing at that point is?
I've read this book 4 times for various book reports. And this telling was the most EPIC ever. Great job
just wrote an analysis on the "awesome, this was a terrible idea" bit of Satan's character and laughed out loud at that part near the end lmao
I died at "16 pack that could cut glass"

Yeah... I never get where that's sexy either. If it can cut glass or bounce coins off of... Then how is that fun?
You'd potentially end up injured and there's basically nothing to squish. Nothing. Literally I've seen some writers make that ideal so chiseled you have to visualize a living breathing statue... Wtf is sexy about a statue?

"Jesus my boy, you wanna do your old man proud?!"
Jesus isn't son, he is God The Son same way as God The Father isn't the God himself.
TheRezro dude, it’s a video, just watch it
@@TheRezro Jesus in Latin means son of God as I know.
@@biliminsrlar5752 Nop. Jesus is English version of Greek version of name Yeshua/Joshua. It generally mean "savior" not son. It was also quite popular name with large number of biblical figures having it. It is why actually relevant is his title "Christ" (Messiah) what actually also mean Savior.

Zeus:
“I COULD HAVE SCREWED WITH THEM BETTER YOU HACK”
Still one of your absolute best videos, and I love the way you both honor the literature(and faith!) AND hang a few lampshades at the same time.
I hope there's more classics like this to be hilariously summarized one day, I miss these.
I'm sorry,
Your interpretation of Jesus is adorable
Greek Freak true tho
Like I believe in him but I usually think of him as a scary dude
@@greekfreak1436 oo
Prince of Peace, y'know :)
@@greekfreak1436 Not gonna lie that's kinda weird, if anything Jesus is usually seen as the soft cutesy aspect of God, being the Son and having turned human for a while and all
Red said Neil Gaiman and I thought to myself "why does that name sound familiar?" grabbed my 'Good Omens' copy and then had a stroke of realization along with the literal stroke
I think she was more referring to his other work. Either A. Lucifer the comic series or B. The books about old gods vs modern gods of which the name escapes me right now Edit: American Gods that's what it is called
@@michaeldaniels642 yeah, but I was just reeling in realiztion that Neil Gaiman also help write Good Omens aka one of my favorite book. I don't keep up with authors too much so the realiztion threw me off
When she says that line I think 'And also the Rioverse' aka PJO, HoO, ToA, KC, & MC by Rick Riordan

Okay but What if paradise lost but written by Rick Riordan?
I’ve come back and watched this video every few months since it came out and I still love it so much. All of your videos have ridiculously fantastic rewatch value
I like thinking of Satan as attractive but also absolutely, irredeemably depraved, like young Tom Riddle and Classic Maleficent. Either way, he's a shapeshifter, so he can do whatever he wants
Making bad things seem good is his specialty.
So I remember having to take this British literature class one fall, and we were reading Paradise Lost. I remembered OSP having done a video on it and its help along the way in understanding the poem. However, I had to do a workshop with the prof for my paper. We were bouncing ideas on what I could focus on and I brought it the video. She asked for the link and I emailed it to her, thinking "Hopefully she likes it." Little did I know the next class session, while we were still talking about Milton, she brought the video and WHOLEHEARTEDLY agreed with Red's comment on how Paradise Lost is basically Bible fanfiction. It's stuff like this that reminds me that there are some English profs that love to bash on writers for funsies.
to be fair the whole of the new testament could be seen as fanfiction tacked onto the end of the old testament, it's not dismissive, it's just an adjective.
Technically all religions are fanfics about a cool story about everything in the world having a soul in hat can do stuff and the stan got homocidally defensive about which stories should be made canon
@@jmurray1110 I'm not quite sure you understand the difference between a fanfiction and an original story...
Every once in awhile I re-watch this video and I every time I think "man what I wouldn't do to have Lucifer from the Netflix show react to this video in character"
Oh my god yes!
The actor that plays him is pretty chill. If you send him the video on twitter he would probably do something like that just for fun.
Yes please!
Lucifer or supernatural?
Dude that would be awesome
The phrase "Jesus ma boy" made me imagine God as Hank Hill
You speak as if he isn’t?
*Gabriel:* So the prodigal asshole returns.
*Satan:* I thought you never left.
Point to Satan here tho, nice one.
