Q3. How does Samson take revenge on his enemies?

Ans. John Milton’s ‘Samson Agonists’ presents the Old Testament story of Samson in
the form of a Greek tragedy. Samson, who had been taken captive and later blinded, was
brought to display the incredible feat of his power in the annual religious festival of
the Philistines. He was asked to do things that required strength, not sight. The huge
gathering included all and sundry: the nobility, the army commanders, the religious
leaders, the counselors, and all the commoners from every part of the city. Samson’s
performance rendered everyone astonished as well as delighted. After the strenuous
feat, Samson requested his guide to let him rest for a while with his both hands on the
two massive pillars that provided the main support to the roof. Samson told the Lords
that he wanted to show his final performance which would be still greater and would
leave them all dazzled. Samson started to exert all his force and energy onto those two
pillars. He shook them as if the force of flood and storm, confined in his body, had come
to his assistance. Finally, he pulled down the pillars that supported the temple, crushing
himself along with his deadly enemy.
