Eve and Pandora share the role of “The First Woman.” Likewise, they are both depicted as giving in to temptation, thus bringing suffering into the world. However, these two figures have stark contrasts between one another that reveal the views of their respective cultures’ towards women, god, and the world around them. I will begin by comparing major elements of both story. In Genesis, Eve is personally created by God, and born from Adam’s rib. In contrast, Pandora’s creation is delegated by…

In his essay “The Bipartite System of Laws in Paradise Lost" Eric Dunnum argues that in John Milton’s Paradise Lost, man’s fall can be attributed to a system, set by God, that reflects that which is also used by historical kings and governments of the world. This system is a set of laws that is, as the title suggests, bipartite, which means that it is composed of two separate entities that come together to form a whole, and Dunnum’s argument often relies on the works of Louis Althusser to expand…

My journey through English Composition 1113 has taught me many new writing techniques and how to properly edit and revise my papers. My instructor, Mrs. Beddingfield, has pushed me to a new level as a student which has made my writing skills improve tremendously. If it wasn't for her, I know my writing would not be near as good as it is today. Over the course of the semester, I have improved in three main aspects of my writing skills: creativity, thought organization, and crucial editing skills.…

seems fateful for women to hold secondary positions to men in the greater power scheme of human society. In as early as recordings from the Book of Genesis, God used the clay from the earth to create the first man, Adam, and placed him in the heavenly Garden of Eden. Seeing Adam’s need for help, God took a rib out of the man and made a woman called Eve for him. Even in such early episodes of religious texts, man is portrayed as a direct creation from god, whereas woman, on the other hand, is a…

Halfway through The Diaries of Adam and Eve, Mark Twain describes the upbringing of the two individuals and the feelings they have shown so far. The story goes back and forth between Adam’s and Eve’s diaries, which helps the reader depict the feelings expressed and the actions done at each moment in the book. In the first half of the book we meet two totally different people, Adam and Eve. Adam is a handsome, strong man who is very quiet and uncaring. Eve is a super talkative, energetic,…

Carlos Wallace once said that, "The most dangerous among us come dressed as angels and we learn too late they are the devil in disguise". This quote speaks so many volumes and sheds light on the horrors of false characters, including rapists. Sex offenders don't show their true personality and identity due to their lack of morality. Tim Madigan continues to support this claim by explaining how sex offenders act very charming and receptive of women on the outside. However, on the inside, their…

Earth was created and what came to live on the planet. He creates the simple things, such as light, sky, and land. He eventually creates the animals that inhabit the planet, including humans. These humans are Adam and Eve. These two are placed in the garden of Eden. Eventually, a sneaky serpent comes along and tricks them into picking/eating fruit from a tree that they were not permitted to touch. God becomes aware of this and chastises all three. The difference between light and dark and good…

If I close my eyes and doubt that everything exists, all I can hear is the heater running in the room I’m in. I don’t really smell or taste anything. I would have to agree with Descartes in that I must exist because I am thinking. I must have a brain or I wouldn’t be able to think, so I am alive and a thinking thing. If I couldn’t think, then I wouldn’t be living. I know I have a body because I can move my extremities. I believe with certainty that I am alive and capable of thought and have a…

always gets in the way to strew the ability to manipulate and dominate, creating never ending hills of destruction and creation. This is demonstrated first in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve, there is a tree in the middle which God declares the Tree of Life, representing God’s wisdom. Eve believes that there is another tree in the garden, The Knowledge of Good and Evil, that is the actual center. Therefore, with the deception of the serpent, Eve goes against God’s asking and eats the…
