答案

一百个词?有些困难,只好尽量简单.主要是讨论Satan形象方面的变化和堕落.
The image of Satan in Paradise Lost is extremely complex and subtle.He seems to be almost heroic in the earlier portion of the poem,grand and majestic in appearance,fearless in character.However,as the story develops,Satan’s image changed significantly.In Book I he is a strong,imposing figure with great abilities as a leader,whereas by the poem's end he slinks back to Hell as an ugly serpent.He begins the poem as a just-fallen angel of enormous stature that shines like a comet,then disguises himself as a ordinary cherub,then as a cormorant,a toad,and finally a snake.This sequence of different shapes assumed by Satan is not only the deterioration in his outward image but also reflect the state of his soul.
