You have to respect that Milton created the first anti-hero with that poem, and certainly this was preserved in the script. Properly done, it’s a story that tells readers a lot about themselves.

In the movie, Satan goes from being a completely good being to becoming the most heinous kind of evil, and you really have a hard time knowing exactly where he crossed that line because you were with him.
