As a theological writer, Blake has a sense of human "fallenness". S. Foster Damon noted that for Blake the major impediments to a free love society were corrupt human nature, not merely the intolerance of society and the jealousy of men, but the inauthentic hypocritical nature of human communication. Thomas Wright's 1928 book "Life of William Blake" (entirely devoted to Blake's doctrine of free love) notes that Blake thinks marriage should "in practice" afford the joy of love, but notes that in reality it often does not, as a couple's knowledge of being chained often diminishes their joy. Pierre Berger also analyses Blake's early mythological poems such as "Ahania" as declaring marriage laws to be a consequence of the fallenness of humanity, as these are born from pride and jealousy.
