Happy Fault
In Paradise Lost, Milton mentions the "Fall" as a reference to Adam and Eve's descension from the Garden of Eden and away from God. Milton dramatizes the concept of the fall as a "happy fault," an oxymoron, to describe Adam and Eve's fall from paradise that was yet beneficial to the growth of mankind. Milton stated that the fall of Adam and Eve introduced mortality/death to humanity and there is now a consistent fear of death. This fear have influence people to act with caution and to appreciate life even more. Death is an inhibitor of human life and progress, so Milton believes that death will motivate people to live positively and avoid sins. The fall marks an error that humanity committed so now it serves as a reminder throughout our recovery.
