Paradise lost
Paradise lost contains the story of Adam and Eve, and their fall from Eden. I am going to discuss who is to be blamed for the fall of mankind. I believe that it is Eve's fault for the fall of mankind, and I am going to back my thesis with facts from the book. Eve made the main choice to eat the fruit from the forbidden tree in the garden; she was strongly pressured into eating from the forbidden tree on two separate occasions. Adam also ate the fruit, because he was following the wishes of eve and he did everything out of love for her. So I am going to explain why I believe Eve is the main reason behind the fall. Satan is listening to a conversation between Adam, Eve, and he overhears some information about the Tree of Life.This one, this easie charge, of all the TreesIn Paradise that bear delicious fruitSo various, not to taste that onely TreeOf knowledge, planted by the Tree of Life,So neer grows Death to Life, what ere Death is, [ 425 Som dreadful thing no doubt; for well thou knowstGod hath pronounc't it death to taste that Tree,Among so many signes of power and ruleConferrd upon us, and Dominion giv'n [ 430 ]Over all other Creatures that possess
Eve never should have wanted to separate in the Garden, and for her choosing to do so caused the fall from Eden. As soon as Eve tastes the fruit, she and the angel fly up into the sky, like gods. After Eve eats the fruit she realizes that she has committed sin and she must face the punishment, which is death. Now that Satan knows that Adam and Eve have been forbidden to eat from this tree, he is sure to try and temp them to eat from it. 268)IF Eve would have stayed by her husband, she would have been safe from temptation. So by eating the fruit, Adam chooses and eternity of damnation over an eternity of paradise all to be with Eve. "Safest and seemliest by her Husband staies,"(IV. This was not the last time that Satan would try and temp Eve to taste from the forbidden tree. Eve is the first one to eat from the forbidden tree. The Wife, where danger or dishonour lurks,Safest and seemliest by her Husband staies,Who guards her, or with her the worst endures. Satan disguises himself as a serpent. He came to Eve's dream disguised as an angel, and successfully tempts her to eat the forbidden fruit.
