Worldview in Literature

In order to identify worldview in literature we need to look at the author's use of God or Satan, if he has it uppercased or lowercased. Also, to determine the worldview we have to know the authors background, which has shaped his point of view into what it is in that piece of literature. This is shown in Paradise Lost through the author's dark history of losing many of his loved ones, changing his worldview into more of a Satanist standpoint. In conclusion, if we look at the author's use of God or Satan, the tone, and the author's background we can determine the worldview in literature.
