Detailed explanation-1: -Sin originates from man’s lower impulses rather than the rational mind.
Detailed explanation-2: -In much of Paradise Lost, Sin is an allegorical character. She opens the Gate of Hell for Satan to leave. She and Death build a bridge to Earth and inhabit the world after Satan causes the Fall of Man. Eventually Sin and Death will be sealed in Hell.
Detailed explanation-3: -Satan, formerly called Lucifer, is the first major character introduced in the poem. He is a tragic figure who famously declares: “Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven” (1.263). Following his vain rebellion against God he is cast out from Heaven and condemned to Hell.
Detailed explanation-4: -The allegorical interpretation of this story is, in its simplest form, easy to follow. Satan’s envy for Jesus was a sin, which becomes manifest in the character of his daughter, Sin. That is, the concept of sin in Satan’s mind literally becomes Sin, a character.
