Throughout the text there are constant shifts from one force to the other and God’s inevitable role in bringing stability. Genesis is an effective collection of stories wherein God continually corrects humankind’s transgressions. Creation‚ Adam and Eve‚ Cain and Abel‚ Noah and the Flood as well as the Tower of Babel are all tales in which the inherent evil in humankind requires the suppression and intervention of God to return humanity to harmony.

In Milton’s Paradise Lost‚ the prominence of “celestial machinery” cannot be stressed enough. The divine figures in Milton’s epic play central roles to shaping the destinies of Adam and Eve.
