Answer:
The character meant to be the speaker in these lines is: Satan.
Explanation:
Paradise Lost" is an epic poem in blank verse by English author John Milton. It tells the story of the Fall - Adam and Eve's sin that cost them paradise. Satan is introduced early in the poem. He is the leader of the fallen angels, the ones who rebelled against God. A rational character - at least at first - Satan uses his intelligence to corrupt humankind. He would rather reign in Hell than be a servant in Heaven. As he says,
<em>Fall'n cherub, to be weak is miserable,</em>
<em>Doing or suffering: but of this be sure, </em>
<em>To do aught good never will be our task, </em>
<em>But ever to do ill our sole delight, </em>
<em>As being the contrary to his high will </em>
<em>Whom we resist. [...]</em>
<em>Out of our evil seek to bring forth good,</em>
<em>Our labor must be to p.ervert that end</em>
<em />
Note: I had to spell p.ervert this way because Brainly wouldn't let me post it. It is considered a bad word.
