In Dr. Faustus and Paradise Lost both exemplify temptation and sinfulness, but through different circumstances. In Dr. Faustus, Faustus sells his soul to Lucifer (aka Satan, in Paradise Lost) for an exchange of 24 years of service from Mephastophilis, one of Lucifer's demons. In the beginning of Paradise Lost, Milton starts by stating his subjects throughout the play will be Adam and Eve's defiance and their falling from grace.

With Satan's decision to continue to disobey God after his fall into Hell form the Heaven's ensures that God will never forgive Satan, leaving him to suffer forever. In the form of a serpent, Satan finds Eve in the Garden and begins to talk to her, complimenting on her beauty. She is amazed to find an animal that can speak. She asks the serpent how he learned to speak; the serpent explains to her that it was from eating the fruit of the sacred tree. He tells Eve that God actually wants her and Adam to eat from the tree, and that his order is a test of courage. Eve pauses at first from the temptation, but she reaches for the fruit and picks it from the tree and eats. After Eve's decision to eat the fruit she realizes that she made a mistake and regrets her decision; she becomes upset and begins to search for Adam. This shoes that Eve made a wrong decision like a lot of people do every day, even though she was warned, but she was tempted by Satan himself. Adam and Eve, decide to repent for their sins, unlike Dr. Faustus, and seek for forgiveness. God still makes them suffer by changing life on the planet and making them witness it. Unlike Satan, Adam and Eve understand that their disobedience to God will be corrected through generations of toil on
