Paradise Lost, full text 12, reveals the original sin and depravity of human beings with epic grandeur. In the poem, Satan, a rebellious angel, was sent to hell for resisting the authority of God, but he still refused to repent and rebelled in the corner to seek revenge in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve were lured by Satan's possessed snake and stole the fruit from the tree that God forbade to distinguish good from evil. Finally, Satan and his companions were turned into snakes, and Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden. This poem embodies the poet's lofty spirit of pursuing freedom and is a very important work in the history of world literature and thought.
