Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Satan, as God himself, has followers who are entities, but in Milton’s Paradise Lost they are recognized as evil entities, prepared to do anything in order to be accepted in Satan’s Pandemonium. These followers are the fallen angels who have established their own religions, now known as pagan religions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Book IX contains all the elements of a tragedy, but Paradise Lost is not a tragedy. A tragedy would end with the fall of Adam and Eve and the arrival of Death in the world, not with the regeneration of the two humans and a promise of ultimate triumph.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
