Original Eden In the chapter of Genesis, the creation story of the bible, the first man and woman had been created in the likeness of God within the Garden of Eden; along with a diversity of animals that would co-exist under the dominion of the “first ever” recorded humans, Adam and Eve. However, the question remains; where was this elusive Garden of Eden? Was it an actual physical location on this earth, or did it exist within an otherworldly dimension? Perhaps the answer will be uncovered…
In 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…

He transforms into a snake and bribes Adam and Eve to eat from the forbidden tree in the Garden of Eden. His supernatural aid are the fallen angels who lurk into wrongdoings. According to the poem, they are the slaves to Satan’s accomplishments. In the poem The Second Coming, the poet addresses the spiritus mundi (a collective spirit of…

Logical solutions may often lead to dire consequences. In “Book IX” of Paradise Lost, Milton describes Eve as logical and sinful through his dark descriptions; nonetheless, her obliviousness and naivety are constantly referenced even after eating the apple. Knowledge and logic can most often guide people towards danger and harm. Eve’s sin, while fully understood with knowledge, is first depicted when she eats the fruit. Milton expresses Eve’s sin through her eating the apple extremely…

and Eve from the Garden of Eden can compare with the story of Equality 7-2521. Equality gets rejected because he enjoyed being an individual (unique) and Adam and Eve both disobey God and therefore became individualists. In both stories they both sinned. These sins have both similarities and differences. 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…

When Adam felt optimistic, he was more likely to take responsibility and went out and completed the command that God gave him to do outside the garden. Unlike King David, when we look at him, we see the incident with him and Bathsheba. David found that he was helpless when being exposed to the mere fact that he had committed a sin against God, he became ultimately pessimism. David was in a position where he was King and could have anything that he wanted. King David like the dogs was in a place…
Eve had considered the possibility from the start, when he had rounded the corner and found her in the midst of subduing one of his underlings, that she might not be able to slip away from him. He had very quickly proven his wings to be quite functional, after all, and other than the city, which had been her best bet of slipping away, any open ground she would have tried to cross would have been a virtual death sentence. Even if he didn't roast her from the sky, he could swoop down, as dragons…
