I am writing a play and have reached the conclusion where the main character utters a soliloquy of just how "despicably stupid" the concept of "living" and reaching the heights of "happiness" is. Everything has lead up to this most severe moment and thus I am in need of some personal insight. I would like to ask of a word which profanely describes an "all-hating God" who gloats upon the face of his creation's misery and woe.
So I am asking two questions:
firstly, what is a word or phrase (kenning) to describe an "All-Hating God" rather than the more illustriously thought of "all-hallow God" and a word to describe the concept of "Life" most vulgarly and in an almost taboo sense. of course, I don't expect a single word could so immensely affect a large-scale basis, but I am just in need of some overall opinions.
And secondly, a word which would instantly put an audience at unease (along with of course the way the actor would say the line) when it is used in the connotation of a concept so "sacred" as "Life." (think of Macbeth's "Out, out brief candle" effect).
There is one catch thought, the word(s) must be confined to the vocabulary of the 17th century, more specifically, London 1660s, and I am being extremely uptight on the play's language-timed-authenticity." For this, I have been mainly using the wonderful and virtuous help of "etymonline.com"
Thank you all most intently and profoundly for taking the time to regard this.
