DALILA IN MILTON’S SAMSON AGONISTES
View through CrossRef
For several reasons, Delilah's scene in John Milton's Samson Agonistes is crucial to this tragedy. Firstly, she portrays the "tempter" in this drama. Second, she can be compared to many characters in other dramas, such as Eve, Satan, and other notable figures. Finally, her episode length suggests that she is in the midst of tragedy; it adds to and helps portray Samson's growth as a character. Finally, Delilah awakens and helps Samson understand his flaws and weaknesses, after which he finds his right path and accepts his fate.
