You know, I think kind of a lot about this painting.
It's known and renowned as one of the paintings in whole art history that expresses better hatred, because of his eyes.
But I don't see hatred in his eyes. I see wrath and pain: he's hurt, he's the one who feels betrayed.
And until this very moment, I've never read, seen of heard any argument that convinces me the Devil was the evil one. What exactly did he do? I read somewhere something like "I rather live standing in Hell than kneeling in Heaven" and everybody has told that it's wrong but I don't really get why. I get this Angel was proud and quite visceral but is that enough to become the devil?
He spoke his own mind which, yeah, wasn't exactly the same as God's and then he got kick out of heaven? Like Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit against God's wishes?
So when anyone disobey this greatest and kind and loveful force all it does is punishing? I really can't see how no one else realizes that's tyranny and dictatorship by definition.
I get why pagans worshipped their gods: you had thousands of gods and goddesses and you were free to choose which one you liked best and follow his of her path, therefore, choosing what kind of life you wanted to live.
But I don't get why anyone could choose to follow a religion that requires you to suffer and be miserable rather than humble, to fear your God instead of loving him.
