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: -The Importance of Obedience to God In essence, Paradise Lost presents two moral paths that one can take after disobedience: the downward spiral of increasing sin and degradation, represented by Satan, and the road to redemption, represented by Adam and Eve.
Detailed explanation-3: -The fall of the Titans parallels that of Adam and Eve, as well as Satan, in Paradise Lost, in that it is also a “fortunate fall, ” which will bring a higher good to the entire world.
Detailed explanation-4: -Paradise Lost is an epic poem (12 books, totalling more than 10, 500 lines) written in blank verse, telling the biblical tale of the Fall of Mankind – the moment when Adam and Eve were tempted by Satan to eat the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, and God banished them from the Garden of Eden forever.
