Reading #2

In the reading tonight and in class I found the part where Beelzebub sucked up to Satan very interesting. I was kind of confused about there relationship at first, but when Beelzebub started his speech "O Prince, O Chief" I started to see what he was to Satan. The seriousness of this address showed that their relationship is all about business, and also how servile B is to Satan. Even though B is inferior, some of his ideas were really good and his intelligence is probably why he is Satan's right hand man. When B suggests that they are still alive for a reason, and that God has a purpose for putting them in Hell, whether it is to suffer to be slaves. The way the speakers switch up a lot is what confuses me most about the poem, but once we get further into it I think it should be easier to follow.
