How does he make Eve approach the tree? Is it easier or more difficult to talk her into eating of the fruit when she is closer to the tree?

Satan convinces Eve to approach the tree by teeling her that God really wants her to eat of its fruit. She still isn't sure, but upon getting a closer look, she sees the fruit as perfect and can't resist, believing that Gos wouldn't have created such perfect fruit if he didn't want them to eat it.
