sinful disobedience. Human’s first temptation to sin was because of their desire to be like God and acquire the knowledge of God. Satan tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden and told her that if she would eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil she would become like God. The only forbidden tree in the entire garden was the one Eve wanted. Isn’t this true for all humans we want the forbidden? As Karen Armstrong said “We are meaning-seeking creatures. Dogs, as far as…

Free will is the ability to make choices that are not controlled by fate or God. Every man posses this power. According to the Bible, free will is a God given thing. It was given to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Often times, fictional characters are written to have free will. Those are the character that we find more relatable. One of those characters is Oedipus. In Sophocles’ Oedipus The King, Oedipus becomes a victim of his own free will; a parallel to the story of mankind as detailed in…

Be that as it may, have you ever considered welcoming your neighbors over for a bubble battle on the road? That last one won't have gotten on here, but rather it isn't as unrealistic as it sounds.

“It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do.” Said by Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, a famous playwright, and actor.” Many people can often associate this quote with Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

There are two key components of human nature expressed in the book of Genesis. Genesis 1-2 addresses the beginning, when man was created, and more specifically created in the image of God. This is essential, because it displays the “goodness” in not just all of Creation but God’s distinct love for human-kind as we were blessed to be made in his image, “In the first Creation narrative, Genesis 1, God celebrates what he has made and gives humankind a position of honor and responsibility,”…

This shows how Adam and Eve loses their gold by eating from the knowledge tree and has to leave the garden forever. This can relate to Pony since he had to leave his house and went to live in an abandoned church with Johnny while they were running away from the police. Pony and Johnny killed Bob and they were forced to leave their comfort zone just like Adam and Eve, outside their comfort zone they were not protected and could see all the bad…

Paradise Lost, Eve falls victim to a careful trap laid for her by the rhetoric of a master persuader. Adam, though, knowingly commits the same sin so that he may be with Eve because he cannot bear to be without her. In Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, the Creature believes himself to be “like Adam … apparently united to … no other being in existence” (Shelley 118). Also like Adam, the Creature knowingly commits his sins, hoping to be able to follow his creator and his hypothetical ‘Eve’ into death.…
