  The Image of the Devil in 20th Century Film   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
John Milton was a white male in his forties or fifties and also appeared as another white male (with a press badge) that spoke to Kevin in the men’s room (in Florida) at the beginning and end of film.

John Milton had the appearance of a middle-aged white man. I found it interesting that while the devil lost his horns and tail from 1926 to 1997, the main manifestation of the devil was always a white male in his forties or fifties.

One might object that Milton did argue for toleration of various Protestant groups with whom he had disagreements, but his argument assumes the sharing of essential and fundamental principles (e.g, again, the priesthood of all believers, the reliance on Scripture and Spirit and the rejection of tradition and authority as normative).
This Miltonic insistence that consciences not be oppressed was also at the heart of his objections to the English bishops and finally to the Presbyterians; in fact, it made him suspicious of all clergy.
England in Miltons time seems to be generally interested in tolerance but is reluctantly moved toward oppression by the forces of the counter reformation and the imperfect development of a universal sense of the primacy of loyalty to the nation/state.
