Throughout history, many poets have written poems about Lucifer and his fall from heaven, some of them in their poems to him alluded to while describing another character, others told his story. of the Bible and other holy books, either to familiarize readers with history or for didactic purposes. George Meredith in his poem Lucifer in the starlight exposed Lucifer in some ways, he focused on his fall and how he came to extend his "dark planet" to earth (line 8). Meredith was influenced by John Milton's Paradise Lost, but he shifted his focus from man's disobedience to Lucifer's vengeance on humans, and how he literally came to earth to take control of it through his darkness, for it has been determined that the fate of those who follow Satan. It's hell. “Those fools are the ones I put my mind to!” I really am an idiot! Come on, come on, you’re bitten” (quick line 21-22). The rudimentary theme of this poem revolves around revenge as Lucifer resolved to take revenge on human beings after his fall from heaven. Lucifer was a former angel of heaven, when he defied God's command by refusing to bow down for Adam, God banished him from heaven. because of his pride. He is said to be an inhabitant of hell where his name was changed to Satan, in Arabic language Satan means "outside the mercy of God". He remained at the bottom of hell, during a "starry night" he feels depressed, he "rises up" which has two different connotations either he would be aware of how he had been seized in hell because " starry” probably means a decisive night for Lucifer, where he intended to take revenge on human beings with force “the arctic snows shadowed by the dark planet” (line 8). Meredith used irony, in the first line he describes Lucifer as a "prince", but in the third line he portrayed him as "the devil". » who massively flipped... middle of paper ...... to commit sin when God banished him from heaven. Meredith also made use of the paradox when he mentioned that the darkness of Lucifer covered the whiteness of the snows “the black planet shaded the arctic snows” (line 8). Then he invaded "wider areas" with his darkness, as he flew through the air to expand his "black planet" he remembered his fall from the sky which left his "scars stinging". By presenting his "scars" as a physical sign, Meredith highlighted how it affected him, he couldn't forget it for long "old revolt", it happened a long time ago since he remembered it. Scars can be physical and psychological since the pain is endless “Contemplating the ugly scars” (Pope line 73). Therefore, every time he remembers the "old rebellion", his hatred will be stronger than ever, this will strengthen his hatred towards human beings, and he will plan how to take revenge to keep his loss..
