Compare this with Satan's words to Eve, which are both pleasing and successful in causing action, and allow the forces of Hell to win round one of the engagement. In Paradise Lost talk is not always only talk, but while Satan is the Archenemy of God, worthy of fear and able to seduce the innocent Eve, Belial is ineffective and can only work in the already corrupted fallen world to persuade people to do rather nasty and immoral things. In his splendid speech to the demonic council Belial provides a perfectly useable model for avoiding action, which we lazy people would do well to study and emulate!
Mammon counsels the devils to be happy with what they have got, and to create a home for themselves in hell:. It is somewhat ironic that 'Mammon' means 'greed', as here he is essentially telling the devils to be content with what they have. This has blasphemous echoes of typical Christian advice to be satisfied with ones lot and desire no more, the difference being that for Mammon God does not come into it, while for Christians God is the one who provides, not the self.
This is one of the key differences between the fallen angels and man in the poem: Milton seems to be saying that true greed is to think of oneself as sufficient, and to take or appropriate selfhood, when that self is created by and rightly belongs to God. In this light Mammon really does counsel greed by exhorting the devils to live to themselves. Beelzebub means 'Lord of the Flies'.

I just couldn't put this book down. I just devoured, and devoured. The only thing I am sad about is that I have to wait a while before the next installment gets released. Lucifer and Gabriel were extremely strong characters.
I liked how each of them started developing their own personalities and became stronger when they were apart. Instead of downing in sorrows, both of them tried to be together. And, they weren't passive characters. I liked how their trials in this novel made them stronger. Resilience of both of them made me fall in love with this novel. Secondly, the romance was extremely realistic.
I loved how the writing made you connect with the characters. The poetic sort of way really showed the true emotions both lovers went through. I really felt myself crying for both of them, and I rarely get strong emotions for both characters. In addition, I liked how the sexiness kind of was less in this novel. It was very realistic for the novel. The characters just held each other, not go at it, and that was very much needed. The world building and twists were amazing. I just felt my heart wrench for each ordeal the characters had to go through.
