Sympathy for the Devil vs arthouse montage

If you choose the Satan homework, here's what you need to do:


Create a 4 minute video/presentation, in which you:


- summarise a movie or book about Satan which you have come across

- explain how he or she is portrayed - both stereotypical and idiosyncratic attributes


- discuss the similarities and differences between this Satan and the Satanic elements of Frankenstein.


Some links:


An article about Satan in Paradise Lost - change the names and it becomes an article about the monster! And about Victor! Weird...




This is a fun book written from Satan's perspective:

And this is an absolutely brilliant book, and also a literary masterpiece, about Satan coming to Moscow. With a very naughty cat.

If you’re doing the arthouse montage:


  • Make sure it captures the monster’s evolution
  • One 6-second vine won’t be enough –you’ll need several
  • It can be abstract; it can use quotes; it can be whatever you want it to be. But it can’t be lazy or shallow, and I’ll KNOW.
