Paradise Lost - Are Satan and his apostate angels on one side of a "contest" - 10 points WILL be given away

Question

READ - 10 POINTS TO BE GIVEN AWAY

Please help.

I have an essay question - and quite frankly, not much of an idea.......

"The role of books 1 and 2 in Paradise Lost is to present Satan and his apostate angels as one side of a contest and to indicate the values for which they stand" - what do you think ?
BOOKS 1 AND 2 ONLY........

> Please explain who is on the other side of the "contest" and how each side acts that indicates it is a contest.

> What values do each side stand for?

I really really need some help...

Answer 1

First of all it is in no way a contest. It is a reality.....There are those that believe and those that that do not! Common sense tells you who the winner is. Jesus................... If it doesn't .........then you are on the loosing side!!!
