There is an extra emphasis on the idea of the fall, the felix culpa. Milton's main point however, is the story of Adam and Eve and their disobedience and fall from gods good grace. His point was very different in that he believed that what we gained from that fall was a good thing for man. In this epic, he wanted to show the way of man to god, and justify it. By showing him that if Adam and Eve would not have sinned, man kind would have never existed and without sin and death, humans have little to no importance. God wishes mankind to have a choice about what we do, and we are better for that.God wanted people to be free and make our own choices, but at the same time, fear and respect him.
