Does Cain shares Seth's dislike of Lucifer?
*rubs hands together* ALRIGHT, IVE BEEN WANTING TO ELABORATE ON THIS!!!
Okay, short answer: No. No, he does not. But the reasons WHY is more than a bit complex:
See, the main reason why Seth dislikes the King of Hell is because of his…less-than-savory remarks regarding Eve, but there’s also another element to it: If Lucifer had never tempted his mother with the Apple, then Cain wouldn’t have sinned and Seth never would’ve been born. Seth is unique in the aspect that, unlike all of his other siblings, he was specifally CREATED as a response to Abel’s death and Cain’s sin, whereas it was implied that the others would’ve been born regardless of if they stayed in the Garden of Eden or not, as Adam and Eve were both designed to create more humans no matter where they lived. However, if Eve never ate the Fruit from the Tree of Knowledge then she wouldn’t have suffered so badly.
So Seth feels conflicted: on one hand, LUCIFER may very well be the reason why he was born in the first place. But on the other, he hates his treatment and remarks of Eve, and so tries to stay as far away from the King as possible.
However, Cain doesn’t share this sentiment. While he does love Eve, it isn’t as personal to HIM as it is to his little brother. Maybe because he didn’t think that his actions were not a direct consequence of Lucifer tricking Eve into eating the Apple (Cain has a SEVERE case of self-blaming and guilt…he’s only human, after all. He was a murderer, but he has never been selfish or particularly prideful. His self-loathing was so great that it drove him to envy, and murder) or maybe a small part of him still resents his mother, who he inherited his self-loathing and sense of guilt from (dare I say he learned it from her..?) or maybe Cain really does want to believe that Lucifer sees himself in him: two envious individuals from a God-beloved community who ostracized them for daring to be different, who both fell from grace and therefore have to stick together.
I’ll go more in-depth about this once I finish my design of Lucifer, but the important part is: Lucifer is LIKABLE. And incredibly so- he could announce to you that he was pure evil and you still can’t help but like him. His very presence draws people to him like moth to a flame; he is handsome, charming, sly, and witty (oh look, how familiar) but ultimately… in his mind, people that he is even remotely close with (such as Cain) could never hope to ever reach his status. Everyone (besides a few, VERY SPECIFIC people) including his own Father is nothing, nothing at all compared to him. But he’s Prideful, not arrogant. So he indulgences in their desires, making the puny little humans feel big, thus stripping them of their own humanity leaving nothing but arrogance- and aren’t the Prideful so easy to manipulate? All you have to do is make them believe that their every move is theirs, was THEIR idea.. while it is only you who pulls the strings. True Pride needs not to boast, for all the world belongs to them already…..For free will is a mere illusion, designed to delude the weak-minded humans into believing that they actually have a choice in the Universe. But you can use this. They will all become yours, eventually. All you have to do…is wait.
