<b>Lucifer’s logic: argumentation in John Milton’s <i>Paradise Lost</i></b> - doi: 10.4025/actascilangcult.v35i3.15467
Abstract
The present article aims at undertaking an analysis of the argumentative component of a passage from John Milton’s Paradise Lost, which is intended to shed light on some compositional aspects of the epic’s protagonist, Lucifer/Satan. The passage selected for analysis is the one in which Satan convinces Eve to eat of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Its analysis was undertaken using an adapted version of the theoretical framework proposed by Douglas Walton (2008).
