According to Milton?

  Milton states that the Christian epic of "Paradise Lost" may be different but is more heroic than earlier epics. Chapter 9 begins with Satan deciding to approach Eve in the form of a serpent. As Adam and Eve prepared for their day's work, Eve decides its better for them to split up. Adam however doesn't agree and they begin to bicker. But soon Adam just allows her to go off knowing that she becomes more vulnerable when she is alone. 
  Satan become excited when he find Eve alone because he knows his job has just become easier. He only gains her attention when he begins to speak because Eve has never seen an animal speak. So she begins to question the serpent's ability to speak. He answers that the Tree of Knowledge of Good & Evil has given him this ability. Eve however knows that she is forbidden to eat of this tree, the Serpent then reassures her that he ate of the tree and didn't die. He claims God only told Adam and Eve this so that they would not become like gods themselves. Eve believes the serpent and eats the fruit. Not only does she bring herself down but she runs to offer Adam some of the fruit because she doesn't want him to find another wife. Adam quickly takes a bite because he cannot stand the thought of losing her. 

  The Godhead sits back in this one. The Godhead has given instructions and waits to see if His creations would obey or not. The Godhead watches as his people created in His image betray Him and obey the words of the enemy. He is forced to take actions and kicks Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden where their lives would never be the same.This is the Godhead according to Milton.
