have been tempted to eat the fruit, which means she would not have convinced Adam to eat the fruit, essentially just meaning that the cause of the Fall can be blamed on Eve's extreme ignorance. Surprisingly, Eve seems to do, say, or think all sorts of things that make us want to blame her for the fall.

So it probably was not the best idea to go out looking for temptation. Unfortunately, Eve also happens to be prideful, full of herself, gullible, and naive. Those qualities obviously worked out in the end for her. At least she was beautiful, but I think that is the only positive quality Milton gave…

This act of disobedience would…

This leads to the assumption, that Adam is contemplating or envisioning what it would be like to eat the fruit of knowledge, and what he would gain from it. It is in human nature to be curious, but why can Adam not accept the fact that he cannot comprehend the entire world and that some matters are not meant for his knowing (185 lines 167-168). Adam’s cures his burning curiosity as he eats the forbidden fruit (lines 1003-1006), but the knowledge that he gains from this is that of the world,…

Clearly, both authors possessed some level of bias from their life experiences, which was showcased with their viewpoint regarding the different…
