Milton's Samson Agonistes deals with Samson's inner trans- formation
through suffering and tragic experience of life. This poetical drama
focuses the paradoxical work of God's providence which changes
Samson's misfortune into his victory.
Samson's father Manoa makes an important role in educating his son
Samson. He concerns his son's physical state in the misery. Though he
is not the protagonist, he ties the action together through beginning,
middle, and ending. He is the complex character who hopes and
despairs, loves and hates, chides and comforts. As a father who has a
dear son he tries to deliver his son's body form the prison. However, his
endeavors to ransom his son are futile because his eyes are fixed on the
external states of his son and he doesn't know what really troubles his
son now. Moreover, he concerns the fame and honor of his son and his
house more than anything else. So his intent to help his son brings the
opposite result to Samson, that is to give him another temptation to lead
him into spiritual despair. Manoa is proved to be a false redeemer who
has limited understanding, being spiritually blind. Only God really cares
and helps Samson and makes him his true son and champion.
It is God's providence that brings Samson's inner regeneration out of
Manoa's useless endeavors. After meeting with his father he progresses
from the depressed man to the more spirited man confessing his own
sins. As Anthony Low explains, the most crucial thing Manoa does in
the play is to remind Samson of the true nature of his crime. Milton
contrasts the wisdom of God and the human effort of Samson's father.
But what is important is that both of them are used to educate the
Nazarite hero. What interests us is that his son's death makes Manoa's
view of life change. Manoa learns the meaning of death form his son.
He is able to understand the spiritual meaning of life and death through
the example of his son. Therefore, when considering the role of God
and Manoa as father of Samson, we should avoid the dichotomous
approach of ‘God's care and Manoa's useless efforts’. Rather we should
view it from the viewpoint of the paradoxical way of providence
bringing forth good out of evil because Manoa's useless efforts are
worked upon resulting good education of his son eventually with the aid
of God's mysterious providence.
