Renaissance begins with the ancient Hellenic literature. Renaissance meaner rebirth of an interest in true Greek literature. Renaissance revived mans interest in the introduction and gave him new eyeb on the whole to look upon the beauty, love, life, learning and liberty. The earlier world was Thee-centric, meaner the divinity or church was at the centre. Each and everything was dominated by Church. Man has had to what Church cherished him to do. Such was the condition of middle age (before renaissance).It is in 15th and sixteenth centuries that the English poets started reading the classical Greek literature, and the basic theme in that literature was human beingism I. E. The other name of Renaissance. And in renaissance the world became Homo-centric. There are basically three chief features of Renaissance or Classicism- 1. Indi vidualism meaner the individual is important, man is important. Man is the centre of each and everything. Human values, emotions, feelings, desires, are important. They should be fulfilled. 2. Worldliness meaner the things of this world, attractions of the world, equivalent- beauty, revenge, love, power, wealth.Meaner this world should not be neglected. 3. squiffy determination / Strength of legal opinion meaner that the headspring plays a role like queen of chess in our life. It is our strength of mind or our office that open fire urinate a hell of promised land or a heaven of hell. Satan-a renaissance character- All these features of classicism are clearly apparent in Satan also. The ideology of Individualism or Humanism comes from the classical Greek literature. It dialogue about that man should be free, liberal. He shouldnt be under the supervision of anybody whether it is any person or God. This is what happened during the period of incessant.Society or man challe nged the authority of church. And this kind of ideology is reflected very clearly in Satins character. -First he revolted against God. He challenged the authority of the God. -He talks about the end of thraldom and lays stress on equality. -He talks about liberty, power- To reign is the cost ambition, though in Hell -Then Satan talks about the freedom, elected ideology- Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven Awake, arise, or be for ever fallen Satan is typically a Worldly fellow. He is a lover of the ambition to beseem a ruler.He has the extreme love for power- Profoundest Hell, Receive thy new possessor, unitary who brings A mind not to be changed by place or eon Here we may reign secure, and in my choice, To reign is the charge ambition, though in Hell hatred , Jealousy, revenge. He has -So far as the things like Jealousy, revenge are concerned, a person can go to any extent to achieve his aims. Here Satan also uses the imitative method, cunning strategy to take revenge from God. Stirred up with me. Y and revenge, deceived The mother of mankind And we can see that what a strength of mind Satan has Even after losing to God,Satan speaks like a modern political leader that nothing is lost, everything is under-control. What though the field be lost? All is not lost- the unconquerable will -Satan has the heroism not to bend before anybody. And courage never to submit or yield -Satan says that however they are disappointed physically, but their minds are the same and only mind matters, . , who overcomes By force back hath overcome but half his foe -Satan becomes an inspiration for the world that rather of crying one must face each and everything in his way. Is this the theatrical role. That we must change for Heaven? . Be it so Satan is the reflectiveness of such kind of determination that no place or time can change ones mind. And only mind matters the most. Receive thy new possessor-one who brings -And mind has very important place in our life, because it is the mind, it is the attitude of ours that in itself can make a situation hell of heaven or heaven of hell. It all depends upon the quality of our mind. The mind is its own place, and in itself Can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven -Satan also talks about that he would not give God the pleasure that he has bend before God. This kind of ideology became an inspiration for the French renewal 1789).Thats why Satan is called an inspiration behind French Revolution, because the revolt was all about these kind of ideas- individualism, worldliness, and strong determination. The war between Satan and God is a symbol of war between Evil and Good. And it also symbolizes the infringe of Humanism with the dominance of religion or church. It is almost impossible for an artisan to save his work from the blowing idle words. So is in the Paradise Lost. As the wind was blowing against the dominance of religion or church, so Milton supported the ideology of renais sance with his tremendous work of Paradise Lost.
