Satan is disturbed by the knowledge of what he really is and what he will do, and here, he has a sort of moment of reflection, where he doubts his own motives and actions. This is interesting compared with the description of Satan as an ENGINE; he seems to pause here. Satan's self-doubt gives clues to where his doubt of God and his lack of faith could cause him to Fall from grace. Satan is horrified at himself, when he really steps back to take a look at what he is. The force of his own anger knocks him back, much in the fashion of a cannon’s recoil, and he is momentarily disoriented, and almost separated from himself. This gives him a chance to see himself for what he really is, and the revelation both horrifies Satan, and makes him doubt the anger that he harbors, and whether it is even valid.
