... introduces the setting out of the fortunate character of the Fall with absolute explicitness, is the phrase: "And evil turn to good." Book II, in passing, carries on the thread of the theme. After Beelzebub has suggested that the fallen Angels should avenge themselves on God by perverting God's new favourite, Man, about whom rumour has reached them, Milton attributes this "devilish counsel" in origin ...
