Detailed explanation-1: -Adam and Eve were created by God and lived in the Garden of Eden. They were commanded not to eat of the Tree of Immortality, but they did, despite the fact that they were already immortal. God cast them out of the Garden of Eden to the earth. Eve landed in Jeddah, and Adam in Sri Lanka.

Detailed explanation-2: -Eden is described as a garden on a plateau-like mountain. It is surrounded by a wall and has only one entrance, guarded by angels. Milton depicts the Garden itself in lush, sensuous detail with the two trees-the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge-singled out.

Detailed explanation-3: -John Milton’s epic poem, Paradise Lost, discusses the Fall of humankind from Paradise . The Fall occurs when Adam and Eve, after tempted by Satan, eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. In doing so, Adam and Eve show disobedience towards God and are, subsequently, expelled from Eden, or Paradise .

Detailed explanation-4: -Because Adam and Eve had eaten the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, the Lord sent them out of the Garden of Eden into the world. Their physical condition changed as a result of their eating the forbidden fruit.
