Rethinking the Characters in Paradise Lost and its Influence on Feminism

The speaker discusses how a man interprets Paradise Lost, where Satan is portrayed as a hero and Eve is empowered by the serpent. He rewrites Genesis 3, inverting the traditional Christian hierarchy to show Eve in a dominant position over man, challenging Christian orthodoxy. This interpretation is seen as the beginning of feminism, and it's surprising to many that it was conceived by a man. The speaker questions whether modern women into feminism would be turned off by the Satanism in this interpretation, suggesting that they might see it as an enlightened realization.
