Book+2

Read all of [|Book 2 here] (and take advantage of Dartmouth College's great annotations).

Some questions for group 2: 1. If we look at the debate in allegorical and socio-political terms (with the rebel angels symbolizing human society when it's faced with injustice, suffering, and a challenge), what types of people do the different angel speakers represent?

2. Which of these arguments does Milton seem to approve of the most, and which does he disapprove of most?

3. Which speaker represents society today most closely? Which "demon" do we follow?
