Real

After gaining sudden inspiration to add another paragraph to my latest paper, I decided that I would expand up on it for everyone to enjoy. That is, if you enjoy reading about Paradise Lost of course.

This may sound a bit harsh, but humans now can essentially be considered "broken". Thanks Adam and Eve. According to the poem, before the fall Adam, Eve, and thier offspring were eventually supposed to replace a third of the angels that were lost in Heaven from Satan's hissy fit. Like angels, they were immortal, and should posses certain angelic properties since they were eventually supposed to become them. Thier relationship was ideal too, but after gaining knowledge they became more relatable characters. I will quote my from my latest paper:

"Right before their fall, Eve wanted to do their work in a different way than Adam wanted to. They worked it through with little distress. Dealing with problems this way is an ideal way to handle a situation. Handing your loved one over to God to sanction, and then saving yourself is not an ideal way to tackle your problems. Then again, some humans are known to do some pretty radical things when they are upset. (Harrington, 7)."

Humans are exactly what they become. They were humans before, but the couple was more on the border of angelic and "perfect", and without sin. They did not sin before, but after sinning will now become inevitable. People today sin on a daily basis. We were originally not supposed to do that before, according to the story. If Adam and Eve did not sin, according to plan, we were not supposed to either. Another parallel to being angelic. But after the fall, humans now sin, are nolonger immortal, and can be a bit irrational. Not qualities that are supposed to be prevalent in angels. Thier relationship is prone to upset as well, but it is this that makes them more relatable and hence, human. They go from being the ideal example of a couple in which we are supposed to heed by, to a more modern and attainable example.
