Eve learns her punishment for disobedience, Satan learns his punishment for seduction, Adam learns he must do manual labor to survive.
The narrator introduces us to Eden and our “Grand Parents.” Satan is detected spying on them and is expelled from the garden, after which God sends an angel to tutor Adam and Eve in the history of the heavenly war that has led to the present situation. At Adam's request, the heavenly guest then recounts the creation of the visible world, explaining also the proper nature of development, whereby all things proceed from lower to higher by refining that which nourishes them.
Satan, however, returning in the form of a snake, offers Eve an evolutionary shortcut in the form of a magical food capable of endowing her with super powers. He claims it has conferred on him both reason and speech. Since Eve is suffering at the moment from a fancied slight to her moral strength, she allows herself to forget her recent lesson and yields to this temptation. Adam, unable to imagine life without Eve (and failing to explore alternatives to sin), accepts the fruit from her and eats as well.
Satan’s triumph is short-lived, for although hell and the world of mankind are now linked by a broad highway, he and his followers are humiliated in hell by being turned involuntarily into snakes every year.
Whatever their reasons, both Adam and Eve have disobeyed their Maker’s sole command, and both are condemned to mortality and expulsion from the garden, but before they leave they are vouchsafed another history lesson, this time of the world to come: the progress of sin, the Savior’s coming, and the growth of the church.

I have read Paradise Lost many times. Sometimes I like to read portions of it out loud. I know Adam's soliloquy by heart (Oh miserable of happy! Is this the end of this brave new world and of me so late the glory of that glory..."). And Eve's beautiful plaint, "Forsake me not Adam, witness heaven what love sincere and reverence in my heart I bear thee..." Where is the PASSION in this spoken version? It feels flat and bureaucratic to me. He does Eve a little better than Adam though. I wonder if LibriVox would give me a crack at it ;-)
