"Of Man's First Disobedience"

Captions available

The idea

Milton opens on man's first disobedience and the fruit of that forbidden tree whose mortal taste brought death into the world and all our woe, with loss of Eden, until one greater man restore us and regain the blissful seat.

In practice

Disobedience, fruit, death, loss.

Where people slip

The subject is named before the verb.
