- Eve's Place in Book X
- "thine shall submit"- she is now secondary to Adam and will obey him
- "vile as I am"- she has been villainised and now she believes it too
- "children shalt bring in sorrow forth"- stuck in maternal role
- "Shalt to dust return"- they are now mortal
- "“all but a rib crooked by nature, bent”- Adam views her as immoral and corrupt and no long pure
- She fulfils Milton's Patriarchal mindset by punishing desire for female independence- didactic purpose
- "thou first to offend"=- she is seen as the offender and Adam the victim
- "I will no hide what thoughts"- she wants to be better and restore her relationships by being honest
- "Thy love,sole contentment of my heart"- she no longer wants status and will remain content with her inferiority as long as she has Adam's love
- "thy frailtie and infirmer sex"- she will create the perception of women as the weaker and inferior sex, but she accepts
