                          1. Starts with Satan flying round the earth and talking about his torment. He enters a serpent so he can get into Eden. Eve suggests her and Adam work separately but he doesn't want to as he fears for her safety. Eventually he lets her go. Satan sees Eve and catches her attention. He leads her to a tree that he said gave him the power of speech. She realises it’s the forbidden tree but Satan makes her look at him and says the tree gave him a ‘life more perfect’. Eve eats apple but takes some to Adam who is horrified but he doesn’t want to be apart from Eve so eats fruit. Adam and Eve wake up naked, sad and ashamed. Book ends with them fighting.
