The poem Flight 063 by Brian Aldiss compares the business flight 063 to Icarus grand flight. Aldiss shows a different side of Icarus‚ showing the bright side of him‚ his flight‚ rather than about his great fall. While talking about Icarus flight‚ Aldiss talks about corporate men flying high over the Arctic Circle‚ without a care in the world about flying up in the sky‚ having it be a normal part of their lives‚ unlike Icarus‚ who only flew once. Aldiss tries to say that one should reflect on the

Paradise Lost SATAN’S FIRST SPEECH: Satan acknowledges how utterly his confederate‚ Beelzebub‚ has been changed‚ for the worse‚ by the devils’ defeat‚ but stresses fact that they are still united in their fall.

The monster relates to Adam because‚ like Adam‚ the monster is unlike any other thing of the time. But other than that‚ he says that he relates to Satan more.
