In both stories sins were made. In Adam and Eve, they sin because they eat fruit from a forbidden tree. They then get called evil for doing so. They also have sex in the garden. In Equality’s story he is different from everyone and therefore he is viewed as a sinner. He also comes up with the word “I”(Rand 94). He vows to protect that word and then launches a new man of race and ego(Rand 105). This was a sin because everyone was supposed to be the same. No one was supposed to be different, or violate the laws, or be an individual. But, Equality was a curious man and wanted to stand out (Rand 18,19). These are the sins that were made in both stories, Adam and Eve and Equality’s. …show more content…
But there are similarities between those sins. In the story of Adam and Eve, God forbids them to eat fruit from a tree. They did not listen and ate the fruit anyway and therefore gained personal knowledge of evil. They also had sex in the garden. This can relate to Equality in so many ways. Equality drank water from the hands of the Golden One(Rand 57) and this makes him think of the Palace of Mating. This is a place where specific men and women are sent each year to have sex with an assigned person(Rand 41). Also, Equality can relate to the story of Adam and Eve because just like the way God forbids them to eat from the tree, everyone expects Equality to be the same as everyone else, and do as they say and to not be an individual. Plus, Equality is not allowed to sin, or he is viewed as different or bad(Rand 17-19). Adam and Eve sinned and for that they were viewed as evil. This is how Adam and Eve’s sins were similar to Equality’s
