John Dryden’s Absalom and Achitophel can be read in a variety of ways. The reader may place the emphasis on the political parallels between the Biblical account and Dryden’s contemporary situations; on the wonderful satirical portraits of characters as different as Zimri and Shimei or simply on the story itself; or on the symbolic struggle between good and evil. Whichever way one reads the poem, its wit and sparkle and extremely quotable couplets have a lasting value
