Abstract
Studying the mysterious character of Satan within the literary and artistic framework, is of a grabbing concern in a time when the world can no longer see but only the evil. The battle between the good and the evil took place since the early
creation of this universe. This dissertation uses a reader-response and reception study framework to discuss the character of Satan in Paradise Lost and the film of the devil's advocates. The basic investigation of the study is determined exactly on how do readers react towards the character of Satan; make meaning from their interaction with the work of Paradise Lost and The Devil’s Advocate? And how does postmodernism encompasses all these as one aspect of its revolution on the absolute truth and the conventional. This research project is based on a review of relevant literature and most importantly film reviews that determine the audience’s responses. The findings underline that there are similarities and differences between the old and contemporary readings of Satan as the dominant character in literature and art. The
main conclusion to be drawn from this work is that the contact of the reader with Satan reveals the work as an eventually aesthetic production with some hidden reasons that change the thought of the audience.
