Can make a Heav'n of Hell, a Hell of Heav'n.
What matter where, if I be still the same,
And what I should be, all but less then hee
Whom Thunder hath made greater? Here at least
We shall be free; th' Almighty hath not built
Here for his envy, will not drive us hence:
Here we may reign secure, and in my choyce
To reign is worth ambition though in Hell:
Better to reign in Hell, then serve in Heav'n.
This shows the conflict between Satan and God. Satan believes that its better to rule in Hell than serve in Heaven. In Heaven there is no chance for Satan to ever become greater than God in his way of thinking. Heaven is His domain where anything He dictates or even thinks comes into being. In Hell Satan has a chance to rise up and gain more power than God. Hell is his domain where the roles are allowed to be reversed by God.
