Just finished book one. Wow. Milton is good.
The bee imagery at the end around Pandemonium is so vivid: I can see and hear a prideful hornet's nest swarming in rage around their constructed structure... but no matter what seats of gold they build for themselves, they will always be suffering! Satan says he would rather rot in Hell than serve God in Heaven... rot in Hell he will! 😠

I'm continuously remembering the Collect for Peace: "O God, the author of peace and lover of concord, to know you is eternal life and TO SERVE YOU IS PERFECT FREEDOM: Defend us, your humble servants, in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in your defense, may not fear the power of any adversaries, through Jesus Christ our lord. Amen."

Satan says, "Better to reign in Hell, then serve in Heav'n" ohhhhhhhh man, he is so wrong!!!
Also, Satan's comment reminds me of that scene in Sticks from The Odyssey where one of the guys who died says he would rather be a lowly man on Earth than suffering in Hades!
