Detailed explanation-1: -Adam’s fall, it is traditionally argued, fol-lows not from a desire to transcend his proper station but from a failure to maintain it. Eve, a creature beneath Adam in the divine order of things, desires to be like God. Adam wrongly chooses Eve instead of God. Eve falls up, and Adam-so to speak-falls down.
Detailed explanation-2: -As a near perfect human, Adam is ruled by reason. He immediately understands Eve’s sin in eating the apple, but he willfully ignores his reason and eats because of his love and desire for her. Adam’s uxorious attitude toward Eve, which perverts the hierarchy of Earth and Paradise, leads directly to his fall.
Detailed explanation-3: -In Paradise Lost, Eve is prideful and Adam is loving, but only when that pride and love is twisted do they sin. Only when our intentions are confused by outside forces do we commit evil.
Detailed explanation-4: -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 .
