Detailed explanation-1: -“Better to reign in Hell, than to serve in Heaven.”.
Detailed explanation-2: -The relationship between Satan, Sin, and Death is an allegory tying together the ideas of disobedience, sin, and death: Disobedience results in sin, and sin results in death. The narrator uses rich, sensory language to describe Eve’s act of disobedience.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hell in Paradise Lost is the antithesis of Heaven. In a sense, Hell is an ironic parody of Heaven. Hell for Milton is literally the underworld. Heaven is the zenith of the universe, then there is the great gulf of Chaos and Night, and finally, at the bottom, underneath everything, is Hell.
Detailed explanation-4: -’Thus, Milton’s Hell is a place of darkness which the lurid flickering light of fire serves only to make darker. Geologically it is a volcanic region, ‘fed with ever burning sulphur’. Satan and his comrades have fallen into a ‘fiery gulf’, a lake that burns constantly with liquid fire.
