    villain‚ “The way ascends not straight‚ but imitates/ The subtle folding of a winter’s snake” this snake imagery forms a link between Flamineo and Satan in “Paradise Lost Book IX” as Satan takes the form of a snake to deceive God. In both texts the serpent is used as deception which is required to achieve a goal. However‚ we see Flamineo fall from a strong ambitious character throughout the play to a vulnerable coward. He idiotically falls for Francisco’s disguise as a “moor” called Mulinassar. This

    	Looking at John Milton’s Paradise Lost‚ we can see that there are the two ideas of damnation and salvation through reconciliation present in the characters of Satan and Adam & Eve‚ respectively. It is Satan’s sin of pride that first causes him to fall from God’s grace and into the bowels of hell. This same pride is also what keeps him from being able to be reconciled to God‚ and instead‚ leads him to buy into his own idea of saving himself. With Adam & Eve‚ we see that although they

    good and evil. Satan (disguised as a serpent) told Eve that she would not die from eating that fruit‚ that her eyes would be opened‚ knowing both good and evil. But at the time Eve made her decision‚ she did not have the knowledge of good and evil. Eve did not know the serpent could be Satan incarnate‚ nor did she know that her desire to become a goddess would be a sin. The main reason Eve eats the apple is because she wants to become a Goddess. The serpent said that he was a beast and after eating
