From the Paper:

"You can be sure if the FOX television network could get there hands on a few angels, they would do everything in their power to try and publicly corrupt them on some morally reprehensible reality show. Fortunately for us, reality television was not yet invented when John Milton wrote Paradise Lost. Milton's work details the fall of Satan, the creation of hell, the advent of mankind and the origin of sin. The story is largely based on the depictions found in the bible. The central theme of the tale is the conflict between good and evil. Good is represented by the holy trinity. The holy trinity consists of God, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Evil is represented by the unholy trinity of Satan, Sin and Death. The forces of good and evil collide both overtly and covertly throughout the story. It is important to note that both sides of this supernatural war have their own strengths and weaknesses. What is more important is that both the unholy trinity and the holy trinity are dependant on each other in order for the entire story to reach mirror the ending that is found in the bible. In John Milton's Paradise Lost, the characteristics of the holy trinity are deeply entwined with those of the unholy trinity in order for the story to reach its natural conclusion."
