 Paradise LostJohn MiltonJohn Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost retells of the story of Adam and Eve. Cast from Heaven onto a lake of fire, Satan and his followers vow to take revenge on God through his new creation, Man. Satan tricks Eve into eating the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, and Adam eats out of love for Eve. For this sin, they are exiled from the Garden of Eden. Milton's Paradise Lost is meant not only to tell about the fall of man, but to justify God's ways to man. Search this CliffsNote
