Synopsis of Paradise Lost by John Milton
Paradise Lost written by John Milton is an epic poem based on the biblical story of Adam and Eve. The poem begins with Satan and other rebel angels creating hell in spite of heaven. Satan, devoted to provoking the Fall of man by tempting Eve with the apple, travels to Earth disguised as an angel. Gabriel catches Satan and sends him back out of Earth. Eve eventually divulges her temptation and eats the apple and Adam does the same. They then divulge in sin and fall into a deep sleep. When they wake up they feel extremely guilty and grasp the extremity of their wrongdoings and God expels them from the Garden. The poem ends when Adam and Eve are taking a walk of solitude with 'the world before them'.

Fault.
A falls off B's roof while fixing it.
In this situation B is not at fault. In the case that B is to blame, B would have to be responsible for whatever A's reason was to fall, which was most likely the roof, and if B could fix the roof then he would not have asked A to fix it.
A is homeless and begging on the street. B walks by, does nothing and just keeps walking.
Again B is not to blame. A's way of life or lack of money is not B's responsibility. In my opinion the only way B would be responsible for A's life is if B was A's guardian and A is under the age of 18.
B lends his car to A, which has some problems, and A get's in an accident.
The blame can only be placed on whoever first suggested that A uses the car. If A asked for the car then it is A's fault, and vice versa.
B has the piggy virus, goes to school, and gives it to A.
The blame certainly does not lie with A. And the only reason B would be at fault is if B knew that he was ill.
