What's a great book about the devil in literature? I don't mean satanism or whatsoever, but a study on the devil as a literary figure and image.

Alternatively, what are some of your favourite depictions of the devil in literature and poetry?

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 17 00:50:18 2021 No.18044724 Ask yourself what the means and what kind of being he is. Is the devil evil? Philosophical (thinks he has a better plan than god), or just enjoys seeing people suffer ( like a sociopath with deity level powers)? Why does he do what he does?

>Philosophical (thinks he has a better plan than god)
Now that I think about, devil is the biggest strawman EVER.
>oh so you think the divine plan for humanity is bad because there's some suffering?
>well this guy's plan is nothing but suffering! ha! bet you're not so eager to criticize God now!
