Christian poet. Satan’s return to the story presents him as a changed and further degenerated character. Before the temptation of Eve‚ we see Satan go through another bit of soul-searching. This time‚ however‚ he does not waver in his determination to ruin humankind‚ but only makes a cold expression of regret for things that might have been. Milton notes that Satan is driven to action by the grief and turmoil he feels inside and by his wounded sense of pride. It is clear now that Satan’s

Satan has made it his purpose in life to seek revenge on God for banishing him from heaven. The excerpt of The Temptation of Eve when Satan speaks to Eve is evidence of this.

consider myself a Satanist‚ for a variety of reasons -- I agree with a bit of Crowley‚ a bit of LaVey‚ a bit of Aquino‚ and even a bit of King Diamond -- but I identify with the term first and foremost because I believe in a supernatural being named Satan‚ and I religiously worship Him as my god. To be true‚ this definition of the term "Satanist" is not entertained by the majority of Satanists‚ as most would seem to have a problem with the tricky subjects of theism and "worship."
