        Technically, he wants to use it to get back at God for casting him and his buddies into hell in the first place.

            Oh, I definitely prefer John Milton‘s version from Paradise Lost. It’s by far the most interesting, and, at least, consistent. However, reading it was a fucking nightmare. Eat my ass, iambic pentameter. I never would’ve gotten through it without the annotated version from Norton’s Anthology of English Literature.
