Abstract

This paper aims to discuss evil representation in John Milton’s Paradise Lost.
The paper begins for Paul Ricoeur’s speech that concerns the nature of evil; the text was a speech
originally and has been transformed in a book. Pointing the similitude between theocratic
thought, as showed by Ricoeur, and the fist satanic soliloquy the paper exposes the proximity
between both. In the philosophical, text evil is defined as a confrontation between personal wish
and obligation to others. The same can be perceived in Milton’s epic, therefore the paper
concludes the evil nature of the satanic character can be characterized by the non-agreement
between personal wish and moral obligation.
