Dalila’s Role in Milton’s “Samson Agonistes”
Journal Title: Asian Journal Social Sciences & Humanities - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Dalila episode in John Milton’s “Samson Agonistes” is very important to this tragedy for more than one reason. First of all, she represents the “tempter” in this drama. Secondly, she could be compared to many characters such as Eve, Satan, and other great characters in other tragedies. Thirdly, the length of her episode suggests the middle of this tragedy to me in case it is a psychological, internal drama that shows the development of Samson as a character. Finally, Dalila awakens and helps Samson to comprehend his fault and weakness and then he finds his way back, and accepts his fate.
