Samson agonistes

Samson's suffering and flaws make him a complex character. Did anyone else find his inner conflict more compelling than his strength?

The philosophical depth and poetic form stood out to me. I'm curious whether Milton saw this play as a spiritual reflection or a political statement.

The dense, poetic diction felt timeless, but also a bit inaccessible at times. How do others approach understanding Milton's style without losing the emotional impact?
