The first three books I found to be extremely intriguing. However, I was somewhat confused as to why Milton would describe the gathering place for all of the fallen angels as "pandemonium", or basically a place to worship. One thing I found really interesting is the viewpoint that Milton uses, the first two books placing Satan as a "heroic" type of character, with the third book going to the viewpoint higher up, in heaven. In the third book, Satan begins to show his true colors, starting with the deception of Uriel, and brings the idea of perception into place.

The contrast between good and bad really is quite intriguing. Satan's "heroism" in volunteering is definitively overshadowed a book later when Jesus volunteers out of pure love. It will be interesting to see how these images play out as the book progresses.
