Their fall is the poem’s climax‚ even though it comes as no surprise. By describing the fall as tragic‚ Milton conveys the gravity and seriousness of this catastrophe for all of humankind‚ but he also situates Adam and Eve’s story within the literary conventions of tragedy‚ in which a great man falls because of a special flaw

    with the story of Adam and Eve‚ who were expelled from the Garden of Eden for eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. As a result of their knowledge‚ Adam and Eve are made aware of their humanness‚ that which separates them from the divine and from other creatures.
