Satin and Eve as Scapegoats

Satin and Eve are scapegoats in the book. I don’t really understand how we were discussing them in class but my interpretation was a little different. I believe that Satin is being used as a scapegoat for Adam and Eve, and Eve is being used as a scapegoat for basically everyone in the book. One thing that Satin is blamed for by Adam and Eve is for eating the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. In all the events that happened to Adam and Eve they are panicking. I think they are feeling the effects of the fruit and blaming Satin for making them eat the apple.
One thing that Satin does not seem to be blamed for is the fall of man. He was the one who initiated Eve to eat the apple. If he was not trying to ruin God’s creation then Eve would have never had one thought in her mind to touch that apple. Satin was the one who ruined mankind and brought evil into the world. Adam and Eve were very simple people who didn’t have any impure thoughts. The evil of Satin was too much for Eve, and I believe it would have been too much for Adam as well.
Adam is one of the people who start blaming Eve. Milton says, “Rather how hath thou yielded to transgress The strict forbiddance, how to violate The sacred fruit forbidd’n? Some cursed fraud Of enemy hath beguiled thee, yet unknown, And me with thee hath ruined, for with thee Certain my resolution is to die!” Adam is blaming Eve for his death because their first thought upon eating the apples was that God was going to get rid of them.
Eve is also being blamed for letting herself be tempted to eat the fruit by Satin. Adam did not understand how she would want to divide their chores that morning when she knew that Satin may be somewhere in the garden. Milton says, “I warned thee, I admonished thee, foretold The danger and the lurking Enemy That lay in wait.” Adam is basically saying that it is Eve’s fault because he told her several times not to go off by herself, but she disregarded his words of wisdom and went anyways.
Eve is again blamed for the fall of man, tempting Adam, and basically for all the evil in the world. It sounds to me like everyone in the book is blaming her for this. And she actually comes to believe that she ruined mankind. In the book Milton says, “That I who first brought death on all am graced The source of life.” Everyone has made her to believe that she doomed everyone into this horrible life, and it was because of her weakness that she was tempted.
