2.John Milton, the Renaissance Perion.The story is taken from the Old Testament,the theme is the "Fall of Man",Eve, seduced by Satan's rhetoric and her own confused ambition--as well as the mere prompting of hunger--falls into sin through innocent credulity. Adam falls by consciously choosing human love rather than obeying God. This is the error wherein his greatness lies. In the fall of man Adam discovered his full humanity.
4.John Bunyan, the neoclassical period.Its purpose is to urge people to abide by Christian Doctrines and seek salvation through constant struggles wity their own weaknesses and all kinds of social evils. Its predominant metaphor--life as a journey--is simple and familiar.
