Personally, I think Satan (well, Lucifer) is the perfect embodiment of chaotic good

We'll have to disagree on agreeing.

[-] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

You're welcome to disagree. But if you read Paradise Lost or do a little critical analysis and compare the themes of "The serpent in the Garden" with stories like Prometheus (and other fallen angel motifs), it's pretty easy to see Lucifer/Satan as a sympathetic character, IMHO.

But then I'll always tend to lean toward the side advocating for more knowledge over the side advocating for limiting knowledge.

Well known canonical work, Paradise Lost

Canonicity doesn't matter when the characters are mythical to begin with.
