John Milton wrote "Paradise Lost" to explore the themes of sin, redemption, and the role of free will in the story of Adam and Eve's fall from grace. He aimed to justify the ways of God to man and to create an epic poem that rivaled the classical works of Homer and Virgil. Milton also intended to showcase his mastery of language and poetic skill.
