Paradise Lost‚ written by John Milton‚ describes the fall of man within the Garden of Eden in a highly descriptive form compared to a contemporary Biblical form.

	Looking at John Milton’s Paradise Lost‚ we can see that there are the two ideas of damnation and salvation through reconciliation present in the characters of Satan and Adam & Eve‚ respectively.
