The subject of Paradise Lost as given in Book I. is the temptation and fall of man, that is, his dete- rioration from the state of perfect goodness and happiness, in which he was supposed to have been created, to one made up of good and evil, of happi- ness and unhappiness ; this "fall " being symbolized by ...

Raphael is introduced, giving Adam a " full narra- tion " of things from the beginning — and it is chiefly by means of these later books that we con- struct the key to the earlier ones.
