It thus supports the findings of Robert Charles Fox, who in his study The Seven Deadly Sins in Paradise Lost first thoroughly analysed and comprehensively presented this issue and its importance in Milton's epic. The authors of the study share Fox's belief that Milton consciously used the system of the Seven Capital Vices in his epic as a structural device to present the entire scope of evil to the willing reader, and he achieved this by giving Satan and six other major denizens of Hell each the characteristics of a particular Vice. In other words, each of the seven major diabolical figures that appear in Paradise Lost embodies or personifies one of the Seven Capital Vices. As the most eloquent and characteristically perfected of the diabolical figures of Hell, Satan embodies Pride, the prime Capital ViceČlanek analizira prikaz upodobitve Satana kot naglavne pregrehe napuha v Izgubljenem raju Johna Miltona. Posledično izčrpno podpira ugotovitve Roberta Charlesa Foxa, ki je v svoji študiji The Seven Deadly Sins in Paradise Lost prvi temeljito analiziral in predstavil sistem in pomen te tematike v Miltonovem epu. Avtorja razprave pritrjujeta Foxu, da je Milton zavestno uporabil sistem sedmih naglavnih pregreh v svojem epu kot mehanizem, s katerim voljnemu bralcu prikaže celoten spekter zla. To je dosegel tako, da je Satanu in ostalim šestim glavnim prebivalcem Pekla dodelil lastnosti posameznih pregreh. Z drugimi besedami, vsak od sedmih glavnih diaboličnih likov, ki se pojavijo v Izgubljenem raju, uteleša ali pooseblja eno od sedmih naglavnih pregreh. Satan kot najbolj prepričljiv in karakterno izpopolnjen od diaboličnih likov Pekla uteleša napuh, prvotni naglavni grehTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Filozofska fakulteta, Znanstvena založba
