In Paradise Lost, humanity is viewed as sinful and imperfect; just as the Christian worldview describes humanity. For instance, the text tells of Adam and Eve's temptation in Eden:
"Of mans first disobedience, and the fruit
of that forbidden tree, whose mortal tast
brought death into the world, and all our woe."
Milton goes on to say that,
"With loss of Eden, till one greater Man <--- (Jesus)
restore us, and regain the blissful seat"
As humans, we do not have the power to "save ourselves"...we need to give our lives to God.
