>He's never read Paradise Lost

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 13 11:01:19 2015 No.7229714 Reminder Satan was a edgy faggot, with a narcissistic complex.

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 13 11:07:15 2015 No.7229725 I haven't read it. Do I need to read the bible first?

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 13 11:07:27 2015 No.7229727 Why is Gustave Doré so great?

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 13 11:10:12 2015 No.7229739 >>7229727 proly cos he spent all that time making graven images of satan

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 13 11:49:51 2015 No.7229866 >>7229714 Well yeah, duh. Doesn't mean he isn't a great tragic character.

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 13 11:55:29 2015 No.7229882 >>7229725 Not really. Being familiar with biblical history is enough

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 13 11:59:23 2015 No.7229902 >>7229725 Ideally you'd have read the Bible, a bunch of protestant theology, Homer, Virgil, Shakespeare, Spenser and some English history, but really you don't need to read anything.

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 13 12:02:06 2015 No.7229910 >>7229902 This. If you get a decent annotated version, you can make it out all right and still get a lot from it.

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 13 12:11:24 2015 No.7229937 Reminder that Satan did nothing wrong.

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 13 13:03:31 2015 No.7230090 >>7229704 literally everyone who reads more than genre fiction (and even then) has read paradise lost. You're not special
