The Creation of Adam

In the creation myth “The World on Turtle’s Back” the Iroquois Native Americans describe their beliefs about the creation of the world and humanity. The myth exhibits many archetypal settings and greatly resembles the story of Adam and Eve in the Book of Genesis. The differences between the two creation stories’ archetypal settings, however, illustrate the greatest difference between the two cultures; monotheism and polytheism. Both “The World on Turtle’s Back” and the Book of Genesis involve a…

Mary Shelley wants the reader to think about God and the creation of life. We all know the biblical story of Adam and Eve and how God made Adam and once he became lonely God made him a mate, Eve. Well throughout Frankenstein, Victor acquires enough knowledge to have the capabilities to create life, but the man does not turn out to be good and pure. The Monster begins to want to have a female companion to come eat berries with, much like Adam wanted a companion.…

(father) and his Creation (son) are dependent on one another. A good parent knows that the child is dependent on them for everything, but if the upbringing of the parent is lacking, a different fate may happen to the child. Shelley argues that the failure of parents to “parent” their children in such a way that would give them the ability to make relationships with other humans, results in the child becoming isolated. When Victor (creator/God) made his “super-human child” (creation/ Adam), he…

focus will be on Eve. Her creation, life, and eventual downfall from God’s favor. But in order to properly do justice to her story, one must start at the very beginning. When the earth was a formless void, God created substance from chaos. This story in the Bible is told in the beginning of the book of Genesis. The authorship of the book of Genesis is not confirmed, but is generally attributed to Moses who lived sometime around the 1400s BC (Kent & Knight 7). The creation story is recounted in…

patriarchy. Lefkovitz challenges the reader to imagine, or even believe that the creation account that we have become comfortable with reciting could be more culturally taught and believed because of the consistently concrete retelling over time rather than inherently actual. She wants us to see sexual identity as ambiguous; for example, Lefkovitz reads Genesis as presenting God as having both male and female attributes.

Paradise Lost, Adam and Eve lose the pure trust, acceptance, and joy provided by everything God had given to them in Eden. After eating from the Tree of Knowledge, they begin to doubt the fullness and truth of God’s creations. The fall of Adam and Eve proves that perception is a result of our experiences as God’s creations appear less perfect after sin enters the world. After the Fall, darkness is seen as gloomy and negative, not as a source of happiness and celebration. God plans for Adam…
