LOVE the scene where Satan's boasting about his subversion of Adam & Eve and how devils can rule Earth, and as he waits for cheers and applause he hears instead... hisses. Because they're all changing into SNAKES. Temporarily, as punishment.

Gotta love the development of Eve's thought after eating the apple: from generosity (gotta share this bliss with Adam!) to greed/vanity (no, wait, this could give me an edge if I keep it for myself - more desirable, equal or superior!) to fear/jealousy (but if I die, Adam might enjoy life with another Eve- no way!)

"Tell him withal
His danger and from whom, what enemy
Late fall'n himself from Heav'n is plotting now
The fall of others from like state of bliss:
By violence, no, for that shall be withstood,
But by deceit and lies. This let him know
Lest willfully transgressing he pretend
Surprisal unadmonished, unforewaned." 5.238-245

Love Gabriel's snarky responses to Satan's claim he merely fled pain as anyone would: "But wherefore thou alone? Wherefore with thee /Came not all Hell broke loose? Is pain to them /Less pain, less to be fled, or thou than they /Less hardy to endure? Courageous chief: /The first in flight from pain!" 4.917-21.
