Paradise Lost

I have found what we have been reading for the past couple days very interesting. I love the part when Satan sees the sun and thinks back to his days in heaven. It's like we get a sense of Satan's small existing humanity here. However, his pride over rides this regret, and he soon jumps back into his normal self. He recognizes his own faults, but is too prideful to repent. He figures he must make the best of the situation....which is somewhat admirable. I also really like the part when he first sees the Garden of Eden and again recognizes the perfection of this place. He is mad at Adam, Eve, and God because he lack what they have so abundantly: peace and harmony.
