Milton has created a God who blames his creation (Adam and Eve) for everything that is evil in the world, as the relationship between God and humans has been destroyed, following their acts. Thus, God is presented as a cynical being, as the "almighty God" blames his creatures; as, God believed that Satan would succeed in seducing Eve, and Adam has only himself to blame. Rather than the benevolent God that is represented all throughout Christianity, God is displayed as misanthropic.

Perhaps as an audience, we should honour Milton for facing squarely the dreadful aspect of the Christian God, as Adam and Eve have fallen as a result of Satan's lies. Therefore, rebel angels shall find no mercy, and no grace for torturing other beings. Yet, Milton's God is presented here even more as a tyrant, and ruling creation for pleasure.

The Son of God, who is Jesus, has given himself as a sacrifice to help humans and stop their suffering. This links heavily with the salvation that was given to humans, as the once severed connection between man and God, had been restored after The Crucifixion.

Here, Milton's God is presented to be "notoriously wicked", as he gives speeches by sitting in the heavenly throne, almost a physical representation of domination.
