Question for November 2: Paradise Lost, Book 1

In John Milton's Paradise Lost, readers are introduced to Satan in the form of a fully developed character, with human (and superhuman) qualities.  Book 1 of the poem is set in Hell, immediately after God has thrown Satan and his followers out of Heaven.  Look at the major speeches made by Satan in this book.  You'll find them in lines 84-124, 157-91, 242-70, and 622-62.  (The poem begins on page 1831.)  Set aside, for the moment, any preconceptions you might have about someone named "Satan," and try to describe this character based on what he says in the above speeches.  Especially, notice whether or not Milton's Satan has any qualities a modern audience might consider admirable.
