Yesterday, we discussed the debate that took place in Pandemonium (Satan’s Palace), specifically Moloch’s speech advocating for “open War” (51) and Belial’s speech, recommending the status quo.
Returning to the worksheet from yesterday, groups discussed which speech they found most convincing and why.
Then, they moved on to Mammon’s speech (pg. 946, line 229), answering the following questions:
1. What is Mammon’s argument? How is it received? Favorably? Unfavorably? Why?
2. Do you think Satan had any intention of taking Moloch’s, Belial’s, or Mammon’s recommendations to heart, or was his plan to set off for the new world all along?
3. If Satan already knew his next move, why stage the debate?
4. What is Satan’s rationale for wanting to visit the new world?
Finally, the groups shared their views on Satan (yesterday's homework).
