In *Paradise Lost*, John Milton attributes the downfall of mankind primarily to Adam and Eve’s disobedience to God. The narrative explores themes of free will, temptation, and the consequences of sin. Eve’s role in the fall is often analyzed through the lens of traditional gender roles and power dynamics, which may reflect patriarchal values.
Some interpretations suggest that Milton’s depiction of Eve reinforces patriarchal structures. For example, Eve is portrayed as more vulnerable to temptation and responsible for the initial disobedience. Adam, while also responsible, is shown as choosing to follow Eve out of love, which casts him in a more favorable light.
Thus, while the fall is directly caused by disobedience to God, Milton’s portrayal of characters and their actions can be viewed as reflecting or supporting the patriarchal values of his era. This duality allows for readings that address both the theological aspects of the fall and the social constructs related to gender roles.
