Question

Milton’s Satan in the epic poem Paradise Lost can be defined as an anti-hero. Write an essay explaining what makes Satan an anti-hero and how Milton’s characterization helps establish the figure of Satan as an awe-inspiring, yet terrifying human being.

I’m not asking someone to write the essay for me obviously, but what key points can help me write this essay? What makes Satan an anti-hero, and how does the characterization help establish this figure of Satan?

Please help :( If you’ve taken this test, is this the easiest essay? Or was there an essay you found easier? Let me know! :)
