    Envy

    Uploaded by

    Vikram Rao
    Satan personifies envy through his hatred of God's power and creativity, as well as Adam and Eve's untarnished love and sexuality. Upon seeing Adam and Eve in paradise, Satan is overwhelmed with envy for their blissful state. He then engineers their fall from grace and expulsion from the Garden of Eden in order to punish them and God for his own downfall from heaven. Milton attributes envy to Satan's intolerable anguish over his defeat and exile from God's kingdom.
