    Analysis the Speeches of Satan in

    Paradise Lost book 1


     The speeches of Satan create on the mind of the readers, the
    impression of his greatness and heroic nobility. In the Paradise
    Lost Book 1 there are found five grand speeches delivered by
    Satan. His first speech goes thus:

          "What though the field be lost? All is not lost, the


    unconquerable will ....... tyranny of heaven"

    Satan in Paradise Lost


          This is one of the most famous speeches by Satan. Satan
    here boldly displays his undying hatred  for their soul enemy
    and his courage is revealed to never submit or surrender. In this
    first speech Satan announced they have not lost everything. His
    second speech:

          "Fallen Cherub to be weak is miserable, Doing or


    suffering but of this be sure. To do ought good never will be
    our task.."

          Satan here addressing to Beelzebub calling him 'fallen


    cherub' tells that to have a feeling of weakness means feeling
    miserable. Whether they serve God's purpose or not that it is
    sure to do any good service to lord will never be their task. In
    his third speech:

          "A mind not to be changed by time or place. The mind is


    its own place and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of
    heaven ........ better reign in hell then serve in heaven."

          These speeches of Satan are considered as some of the most


    profound speeches made by him. The mind is its own place and
    only once mind has the capacity to make a heaven of hell and
    hell of heaven. In his fourth speech:

          "To adore the Conqueror who now ..... beholds awake,


    arise or be forever fallen."
          According to Satan to adore The Almighty shall never be
    their chief in. The lord may see them rolling inside the fiery
    lake. But Satan bodily announces that will never miss the
    opportunity to come back from Hell. In his final speech:

          "O powers.
    Matchless but with the almighty and that strife. As this place
    testifies, and this dire change, hateful to utter."

          This speech by Satan is also the most encouraging speech


    delivered by him to his comrades. The battle with God
    according to Satan did not degraded them. Though the outcome
    of the battle is disasters as his approved by the horrible place
    where they found themselves.
