John Milton's epic "Paradise Lost" explores the story that humans fall from heaven. Falling occurred after Adam and Eve were tempted by Satan and ate the nuts of knowledge. In doing so, Adam and Eve ran out of obedience to God and was exiled from the Garden of Eden or heaven. Falls in this poem are often called thugs, or lucky falls. In other words, banishment is a direct result of sin, but corruption is essentially for the benefit of mankind. However, the fall of mankind is not really lucky indeed. Because it does not produce better survival for humans than before human beings were corrupted. Autumn fall does not bring much benefit to most people nor does it provide more knowledge about God's mercy. This shows that the fall does not ultimately benefit humanity, but it shows the need for human obedience to God.
