    When Satan set’s his eyes upon Adam and Eve, it is doubtful they he knew how easy it would be to corrupt their minds. Eve, in my opinion was probably the easiest to manipulate and that is why Satan was delighted to come upon her first rather than Adam. Eve, is just like any other woman, so it is quite easy to distinguish what one needs to do to get on her good graces. Due to it being Eve, Satan tempted her with his evil offer by using flattery on her. Apparently flattery will get you anywhere. Obviously he also uses lies, but because it is Eve that he is talking to, he puts on his charm and with selected words, is able to fulfill his task of tempting her. “Fairest resemblance of thy Maker fair…” (Milton 540). Satan started off his flattery by stating that she is a match for Christ in her grace and beauty. The fact that God is so highly praised, to say that she is equal to him must really boost her ego. “…Strange alteration in me, to degree of reason in my inward powers, and speech…” (Milton 584-601). Satan establishes his credibility to Eve by explaining to her that the reason we is unique to the other…

    Genesis chapter three uses the allegorical story of Adam and Eve’s original sin to describe the process of humans maturing into adulthood. Like children, Adam and Eve begin the chapter under the ruling of a parental role (God); Eve’s act of taking the fruit becomes a metaphor for the desire for freedom children develop as they grow. The serpent first introduces Eve to the idea of rebellion by questioning God’s rule, “Hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree in the garden?” (3:1) Eve makes…

    The Creation of Eve In the beginning God created the heavens, the earth, the sun, the moon, the stars, light and dark, land, plants, and animals; and it was good. He then created man (male and female), and it was very good. First, God created Adam by using the dust of the ground, and then breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. However, God saw that Adam was lonely, so He created for Adam a suitable helper—Eve. From the rib of a sleeping Adam, God created Eve. In the painting, The…

    God’s ways benefit him, whereas they put Eve at a natural disadvantage based on her sex alone. The problem of pleasure as a pedagogical strategy for Eve is that she inherently cannot absolve herself from life’s complications and inequalities as easily as Adam can, if she can at all. When Satan seduces Eve, he uses rhetorical devices that function in opposition to the rhetoric that Raphael uses for Adam. Whereas Raphael quells Adam’s curiosities through pleasure, Satan introduces a sense of…

    2. Eve is a very important figure for Judaism because she is the first women that was created. The Jewish understanding of her is slightly different than the Christian understanding, in that Jews do not see Eve as the source of original sin like Christians do. The negative and most common way of viewing Eve is that she is the cause of the fall of humanity and the expulsion of her and Adam from the perfect Garden of Eden is blamed on her. Many people see her as weak because she fell for the lies…
