Summary up to 500 words

In John Milton's *Paradise Lost*, the narrative begins with the internal turmoil of Satan as he approaches the Garden of Eden. Disguised as a vulture, he surveys the paradise and resolves to tempt Adam and Eve after witnessing their beauty and the forbidden command regarding the Tree of Knowledge. That night, while Eve sleeps, Satan whispers a lie into her ear. The Archangel Gabriel and his legion discover the demon, capture him, and cast him back to Hell, where he vows revenge. The story progresses to the eleventh book, where Adam and Eve, filled with remorse for their transgression, pray for forgiveness. The Son of God intercedes on their behalf, securing God's mercy but explaining that they must leave Eden. Remaining in the garden would allow them to eat from the Tree of Life and live forever in a fallen state, which God deems unjust. Consequently, the Archangel Michael arrives to expel them. Before their departure, Michael shows Adam a prophetic vision of the future. This vision includes the Great Flood, the Tower of Babel, and the lineage of Christ, who will ultimately redeem humanity. The work concludes with the couple leaving the garden, accepting their new mortal condition and the labor that awaits them. Despite the loss of Eden, they find hope in the promise of a Savior. The poem explores themes of free will, obedience, and the redemptive power of faith, illustrating how humanity's fall is not the end of their story but the beginning of a path toward eventual restoration through the Son of God.
