Detailed explanation-1: -Milton wrote a companion piece, Paradise Regained, in 1671, which dramatizes the temptation of Christ.
Detailed explanation-2: -In Paradise Lost book. IX, there is a temptation scene. In it, Satan tempted Eve, the mother of mankind to eat the fruit of that forbidden tree, the tree of knowledge. This scene projects the main theme of this epic: the theme of disobedience of man.
Detailed explanation-3: -Milton addresses the light emanating from Heaven, saying it is God’s first “offspring.” This is the second invocation of the poem. The poet is now revisiting Heaven, after having spent the first two books in Hell. He still feels the heavenly light, but he can’t see it because he’s blind.
Detailed explanation-4: -Satan lands atop Mount Niphates, just north of Paradise, the Garden of Eden. He becomes gripped with doubt about the task in front of him; seeing the beauty and innocence of Earth has reminded him of what he once was. He even briefly considers whether he could be forgiven if he repented.
