DIS 1H
- Blake reverses the role of "good" and "evil". Evil/Devils are the good guys and are associated with the body and its desires: energy, abundance, actions, and freedom. The angels are portrayed as the bad guys and have the qualities of reason, restraint, passivity, and prohibition.
- A marriage of contraries: desire & restraint, energy & reason, the promtings of Hell and the denials of Heaven. Blake states "Without contraries is no progression".
- Satire posing a direct challenge to the conventional religion and morality. One has to challenge and question what they are told.
