Paradise Lost
Based on your experience of this book, does Satan seem more republican or democratic?
Through the course of Book V, Satan's ideals seem democratic, his ideals enlightened, and his doubts about God's authority seem based in republican values, which are praised by American Christians. Using the word "republic" to mean "a state in which the supreme power rests in the body of citizensentitled to vote and is exercised by representatives chosen directly orindirectly by them", and the word "democracy" to mean "government by the people; a form of government in which thesupreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by themor by their elected agents under a free electoral system", which does Satan seemed more inclined to?
