The purpose of this paper is to analyze the characteristics of Adam and understand the nature of a humanistic hero. Humanistic heroism differs from the conventional heroism, a heroism for the personal virtue and glory. So it is important to apprehend the results of the fall of Adam and Eve for the real nature of Adam and a humanistic hero. The fall of Adam and Eve means the loss of their obedience to God. And the banishment from the Eden is the banishment from world of original good to world of “Good lost, and Evil got.” But the fall of adam is different from the fall of Satan. Because of being deceived by Satan’s temptation, Adam is eligible for God’s grace. Through a description of Messiah, Milton shows how obedience to God is compatible with love of mankind. He also shows how a “paradise within” can be achieved through a repentance of Adam and Eve. Thus, Milton is attached to the positive attribute of human beings. And he describes a humanistic hero who achieves higher development through his human weakness and inevitable wrong choice. The humanism that Milton pursues emphasizes human dignity and advocates his free will as an important value. The greatest value of humanism overcomes the separation between God and human beings and maximizes human dignity.
