Milton's works are real literature

[rex_yuan]

Milton's book (especially Paradise Lost) is real literature. As he criticized both God and Satan. The same thing happened to Shakespeare.

Could you expand your statement, please?

Yes, rex yuan, though I agree with you, and I would probably add Dante Alighieri to your list (as he criticized both God and Satan also), but I would like to hear more correspondence on this topic. What really defines the proclaimed "real literature"? Does the criticism of divine beings contribute to labeling a work more literary than other literature?
