In Milton’s Paradise Lost‚ the prominence of “celestial machinery” cannot be stressed enough. The divine figures in Milton’s epic play central roles to shaping the destinies of Adam and Eve. Where God gives man free will Satan exploits this and corrupts man‚ resulting in their downfall. Milton adapts celestial machinery to his epic poem through God and Satan. In this way‚ when God gives man the power to think for themselves‚ it is in fact the first instance that a divine figure has played an active

Satan places his pride first and resists obedience to God‚ thereby taking the alternative that
