screaming and howling in paintings. Accordingly, when people try to connect the expressions to the story, it surely creates an intense feeling of what the story was about and what was the cost of disobeying God. On the contrary, Masolino’s Adam and Eve don’t really have any expression on their faces.

kills all living things. The only exception being a group of people chosen by God to build a gigantic boat before the rain begins. Another common motif is a woman bringing the hate and suffering into the world.

God made every animal in couples, and then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”(Holy Bible, 2008, 3). So God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, took one of his ribs that he made into a woman, Eve, as Adam’s wife. The first marriage of human being is “a man shall…

The Fall of Eve The Bible tells us that it was Eve that ate the fruit, and she condemned mankind to exile from the Garden of Eden.This can be seen in the title of East of Eden – Adam’s land in Salinas is an Eden when he buys it with Cathy and it is fertile and ready to be planted.
