Document Summary
Which way i fly is hell, myself am hell . 412 - 832 temptation and fall of eve. The title paradise lost focuses on two things. Also about the expulsion of eden for humankind. Heaven is the realm of harmony order peace rest rationality. At the heart of book 9 is conflict between heaven and hell. Internal battle is for adam and eve and all of humanity. All humanity falls when adam and eve do. Rising tide of darkness is coming up from hell with satan. Adam and eve will be placed with choices that define freedom (for milton). Without freedom you will just be going through the motions of life but without any meaning. What we see then is the existence of two things definitive of freedom: the tree of knowledge of good and evil. This tree defines the freedom of adam and eve. They have a real moral choice with enormous consequences.
