Detailed explanation-1: -Before they can join in combat, however, they are separated by Sin, who reveals to Satan that she is his daughter, and that Death is the fruit of her incestuous union with him, and consequently Satan’s son.
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: -In Paradise Lost, Satan falls from the heavenly spheres, plunging through nightmarish limbo for nine days, and landing in the depths of Hell. Yet, prior to his descent into Hell, Satan belonged in Heaven, an archangel named Lucifer, a rational and perfect being created by God.
