Literature and film are filled with evil heroes, aren't they - the problem for Milton, as for others, was that the devil was so much more attractive than the good. Isn't the answer to this that humans respond more to vitality than morality? In other words, exemplifying the life force seems to carry much greater weight than being an exemplary human being. In modern civilisation we are so used to defining ourselves as moral citizens that we forget or are totally unconscious of more innate instincts. Or perhaps it's an unconscious realisation that good and evil are very dubious concepts...
