After they ate it they became aware of themselves and their nakedness, gaining the knowledge that was initially forbidden by God. After Eve tasted the apple she convinced Adam to eat it also and even though he knew it was wrong he was ready to take the punishment because he loved Eve and wanted to be by her side. God knew about Satan and that he is trying to have his revenge and so warned the angels to protect Adam and Eve but nonetheless Satan found a way to commit his deed. This way he wanted to ruin God’s new creation and avenge his defeat. When he finally reached his destination he turned into a serpent and while Adam and Eve were separated during their daily routine, he persuaded Eve to eat an apple from the Tree of Knowledge. He had some opposition from the good forces but his persistence eventually paid off. He himself went to the Garden of Eden using all kinds of deception on angels who were guarding the passageways to Adam and Eve. As Satan was very unpleased with his banishment from Heaven he decided to take his revenge on Earth and God’s new creation-Adam and Eve. Satan lost the battle and was condemned to a chaotic place where he built a castle for himself and all those who decided to join him. It begins by describing how there was a battle between good and evil-Satan the fallen angel and God and his angels. “Paradise Lost” tells a story of the first days of the creation of Earth. It is a kind of a legend that can be told to children as an explanation of how everything appeared but also it could be analyzed by adults with a goal to find the truth and what forces of Nature there are. Milton was eventually pardoned by the monarchy and lived the rest of his life peacefully, dying of kidney failure at 65.John Milton wrote the poem a long time ago and it was written for people of all ages and belief systems but specifically for Christians and those who believe in the Garden of Eden and the creation of the world by God. He was completely blind by then, and dictated the poem to his daughter.

After the monarchy was restored, Milton went into hiding and composed Paradise Lost, his most famous work. When the English Civil War broke out in 1642, Milton supported Oliver Cromwell and wrote in defense of the regicide of Charles I. Overall he had four children, all by Mary Powell.

Mary Powell eventually died in childbirth, as did Milton’s second wife, Katherine Woodcock, and then Milton married Elizabeth Mynshull. He returned to England and married the sixteen-year-old Mary Powell, but the marriage was unhappy and Milton began developing radical ideas about divorce. He then travelled around Europe, where he studied and wrote poems, including the pastoral poem Lycidas. Milton became proficient in several languages and graduated from Cambridge in 1632. Milton was the son of a Protestant composer who provided him with an excellent education.
