Lilith

humans. Before Adam, Lilith and Eve’s vicious love triangle. Divine Being told me the only reason he conceived us divine being was to aid him and to keep him company. He conceived Lucifer first and she was beautiful, he conceived her as an equal to him but because she was so young, she was the first to fall or the first claim a life of her own. Later in history because of the human male insecurities, egos and dominion of women they changed Lucifer from being a female to male. So she-he was banished to…

The short story “Good Country People” by Flannery O’Connor reveals that evil comes in many disguises and that it will try to harm believers and even nonbelievers. Manley Pointer’s character serves as evil and is similar to the serpent in the bible. Manley Pointer has crafty evil ways, he is malicious, and deceitful just as the serpent was to Adam and Eve in the Bible. Manley Pointer is introduced as a good country simple young man who is going around selling Bibles. He tries to sell Mrs.…

I knew in advance that it was going to happen. I knew the situation would get extremely detrimental. I told them. They listened. They laughed. I was treated like an insane kid who shouldn’t be paid any attention to. Perhaps if they had listened, they would’ve been more prepared and the conditions wouldn’t have been as bad. It was still more my fault than theirs. After all, if I hadn’t been so determined to make the others accept me and my words, I could’ve spent more time trying to sort things…

"I wish it was Eden, the Stars were there, you used to love the stars Lilith, I remember," he murmured, slumping back against the bed. His eyes closed "I liked eden, but there's no point in thinking about it....father he...traps me here..." He brushed his hands through his hair, he'd never spoken of his father...he didn't like to think about it. Though, he distracted himself from the troubling thoughts by groping the younger. His hands tailed over the pale skin, indulging himself in it hungrily.…

This segment of the research paper is dedicated to telling the story of Lilith, as well as covering what exactly a Midrash is. The story of Lilith is a rather interesting one and one that is mainly untold except in the Jewish background. Lilith was considered a deity based on the fact that she was the Hebrew form of Akk Lilitu, which was the male deity similar to her in the Mesopotamian culture. (Freedman 324). There are two Jewish sources that can show the activities in which Lilith is…

“We live in a world where unfortunately the distinction between true and false appears to become increasingly blurred by manipulation of facts, by exploitation of uncritical minds, and by the pollution of the language,”- Arne Tiselius. Most commonly, women in literature are portrayed as manipulative and controlling. Most of the literature became a source of studies throughout history. Lilith was the first known for this way because she was, technically, the first woman to ever be created. She…

She sits in the darkness of the room, hands tracing the wilted roses in front of her. A sense of longing arouses inside Lilith as she feels the remnants of the velvety crimson and ghostly white petals and the thorns brush underneath her fingers. The moon outside paints a silvery strip of light in the room, creating flickering shadows on the wall. Lilith looks around the room, eyes taking in every inch of the cramped room. A window sits opposite the table, allowing the moonlight to reflect off…

For the fifth time this week – yes you heard that correctly, fifth time this week, Lilith Vita found herself sitting in her professors office, bloodied, and most likely with multiple small injuries. It was the fifth time this week, and apparently it was 'getting out of hand'. . .To be honest Lilith Vita was quite tired of being called in here and having her precious time wasted. The fifteen year old Theurgist was at her limits with all of this. Not that It was her fault. . . She sat in one of…

A hero is someone who meets a need, has an impact on others or rescues someone whose life is in jeopardy. A hero is selfless and kind and good. In many works of fiction or fantasy there is a hero to save the day, there is someone that helps others achieve their goal or be in peace. But there is not always a need for a hero. Lilith: A romance by George Macdonald, does not require a hero. This is proven by the fact that every character was their own enemy and savior, the presence of a hero would…

George MacDonald’s celebrated masterpiece, Lilith, recounts the story of Mr. Vane and his sojourn through another world. In chronicling the five voyages Vane makes to this mysterious realm, MacDonald hauntingly explores the life, death, and ultimate mystery of salvation. MacDonald juxtaposes theology and fantasy using profound symbolism. I liken my own experiences with American Judaism, as experienced at The Hillel Center to this fantastic theological allegory. It has been a voyage through a…
