In the two works of literature, Dr. Faustus by Christopher Marlowe and Paradise Lost by John Milton, they both present the theme of the fall in regards to the main characters.

“I don’t know,” I whispered, faltering back even more, hitting the wall, as if I could just escape, crumble into it. I just wanted to escape. “I don’t know, alright? It just happens. It always happens. What am I supposed to do Kane? What am I supposed to do?” “You need to do what everyone has told you to do.” Kane said, simply. Kill the guy. I need to kill the guy. The people, the spirits, they all snapped their attention towards me. Kill him, they hissed. Racing towards me, they all kept repeating

but the motivation does not magically come from the outside, it comes from within yourself, you just have to find it. Another important message is that you must make the effort in order to succeed. Emerson writes, “none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried" (Emerson, par. 1).
