Hero. He taught us how to distinguish good from evil and think for ourselves. Obedience is the dumbest thing ever. His archetype is a positive one.
After that ... how can I resist posting this ;
Ware, nor of good nor ill, what aim hath act?
Without its climax, death, what savour hath
Life? an impeccable machine, exact
He paces an inane and pointless path
To glut brute appetites, his sole content
How tedious were he fit to comprehend
Himself! More, this our noble element
Of fire in nature, love in spirit, unkenned
Life hath no spring, no axle, and no end.
His body a bloody-ruby radiant
With noble passion, sun-souled Lucifer
Swept through the dawn colossal, swift aslant
On Eden's imbecile perimeter.
He blessed nonentity with every curse
And spiced with sorrow the dull soul of sense,
Breathed life into the sterile universe,
With Love and Knowledge drove out innocence
The Key of Joy is disobedience.
I am going for hero as villain as it was just 'Saint' Jerome that started the whole thing off , deciding the King of Tyre was actually some post Zoroastrian divine evil force .
If you dont buy into this Christian brainwashing then Lucifer is light bearer of human potential, intellect, curiosity, and cosmic balance. A bit like the 'Cosmic magician '
I am on his cheer team
