Milton however portrays him in a very heroic manner. At different points in the book Milton takes this universally hated character and forces you to admire qualities about him. Milton brilliantly shows many sides to the villain and some of them certainly ring true with thoughts and opinions we have all had. At points Satan does come off as a "good guy" and this is why so much discussion takes place about Satan in Paradise Lost to this day. Satan is most certainly the enemy in the book.
