How is Adam different from Satan? Does he nearly give in to darkness/anger, or does he learn to forgive and act graciously? How does Satan transform himself? Is he becoming more of trickster figure, more monstrous? Compare his appearance in Book I and II to his appearance in Book X? Do we still sympathize with him? Why does God let Adam and Eve fall? How can Paradise be restored? Why do you think Michael tells Adam what will happen in the Bible? What is the significance of that? What do you think Michael means when he tells Adam "A Paradise within thee, happier far."? Does Milton think the Fall was necessary? What are the benefits of living outside of Eden?
