Detailed explanation-1: -Milton opens Paradise Lost by formally declaring his poem’s subject: humankind’s first act of disobedience toward God, and the consequences that followed from it. The act is Adam and Eve’s eating of the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, as told in Genesis, the first book of the Bible.
Detailed explanation-2: -What major event has happened before the beginning of the epic Paradise Lost by John Milton? Satan and the fallen angels have been expelled from Heaven.
Detailed explanation-3: -After she eats the fruit, Eve immediately changes. She begins to think of ways of becoming Adam’s equal or perhaps his superior. But, fearful of losing Adam to another female creation, she decides that he must eat the fruit also. Adam does so but not because of Eve’s arguments.
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 .
