The Greatest Villain of all time

The mind is its own place, and in itself

Can make a heav'n of hell, a hell of heav'n


Anyone who knows me from Uni will probably be laughing right now; the reason? My extraordinary obsession with Milton's Paradise Lost. I'm doing my English dissertation on Satan as the tragic-villain, and I really do think the poem is the greatest work of literature ever. If you can be bothered to read it (all 12 books and thousands of lines) then do so and bask in the greatness.


Awake, arise, or be for ever fall'n
