Summary: This article aims to analyze how the Devil is depicted in The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1790), written by English writer William Blake, mainly by comparing it with readings of the character Satan, from John Milton’s Paradise Lost (1667). Firstly, an analysis of several readings of John Milton’s Satan is carried out. These readings encompass texts and engravings from the eighteenth century, and are related to the evaluation of Milton’s epic poem through an Aristotelian rationality. The two last decades of the eighteenth century are treated more attentively since a change of paradigm in relation to the readings of Satan seems to occur in them.  Finally, a reading of The Marriage of Heaven and Hell which looks for similarities and differences with the previously analyzed readings is done. The conclusion is that this book presents a vision of the Devil which is similar to some readings of the end of the eighteenth century but differs from those in the crucial role of the Devil in the text.

Recorre-se primeiramente a uma análise das leituras da personagem Satã de John Milton realizadas ao longo do século XVIII,utilizando-se, para tanto, de textos e gravuras do período. As duas últimas décadas do século XVIII são tratadas com mais atenção, já que nesse período parece haver uma mudança de paradigma com relação às leituras de Satã. Segue-se então uma leitura de O casamento do céu e do inferno, procurando-se semelhanças e divergências com as leituras analisadas. Conclui-se que o livro apresenta uma visão do Diabo que se assemelha principalmente a algumas leituras do fim do século XVIII, mas que difere em relação ao papel central que o Diabo adquire no texto.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2024-11-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo avaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/literatura/article/view/9992310.5007/2175-7917.2024.e99923Anuário de Literatura; Vol. 29 (2024); 01-21Anuário de Literatura; v. 29 (2024); 01-212175-79171414-5235reponame:Anuário de Literatura (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/literatura/article/view/99923/57959Copyright (c) 2024 William Weber Wanderlinde, Maria Rita Drumond Vianainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessWanderlinde, William WeberViana, Maria Rita Drumond2024-11-18T12:44:54Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/99923Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/literatura/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/literatura/oaianuariodeliteratura.cce@contato.ufsc.br || suporte.anuariodeliteratura@contato.ufsc.br2175 79171414-5235opendoar:2025-08-04T11:05:36.683362Anuário de Literatura (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
