In the biblical story on which Milton’s Paradise Lost is based, the various ‘characters’ fulfill clearly distinguished roles that have a straightforward moral value: God is a perfect, good and just ruler; Eve is his disobedient subject; Adam is the gullible husband deceived by Eve; Satan is a despicable villain. Are these roles still as clear-cut in Milton’s epic? Why/why not? Can someone please provide any textual evidence for this?
