Thesis (M.A.)--University of Houston-Clear Lake, 2007.

The satanic archetype develops as authors direct it to meet their social and political agendas. Milton's depiction of Satan in Paradise Lost (1667) yields a paradigm that subsequent writers, particularly the Romantics, have manipulated and idealized. By challenging traditional binary oppositions associated with good and evil, a positive or sympathetic depiction of Satan enables writers to rebel. Mary Shelley in Frankenstein (1831) develops a sympathetic satanic character to promote her defense of human nature. A traditional, colonial conception of the Devil by Daniel Defoe in The Political History of the Devil (1724) contrasts an admirably anti-colonial Satan in Mark Twain's satires. Using the satanic archetype to present problems in the postcolonial, postmodern world, Jamaica Kincaid's Lucy (1990) blatantly subverts the traditional hierarchies that perpetuate inequality among humankind. The figure of Satan represents frustration and anger at the insoluble social, political, and cultural injustice these authors witness and bear.Subjects--Topical Terms:
