This document provides a character analysis of Eve from the biblical story of Genesis. It discusses Eve's creation from Adam's rib to be his helper, and how she was the first to eat the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge after being tempted by the serpent. The document explores whether Adam or Eve was the true first sinner, and analyzes Eve as a curious and revolutionary figure who desired free will and equality with Adam. It also compares Eve to the mythological figure Narcissus and discusses God's punishment of Eve through painful childbirth as more severe than Adam's punishment.

Character of Eve Birth of Eve First sinner Transgressor or Rebel Comparison of Eve with Narcissus Punished by God 12-10-2019 3
Along with Satan , Eve is the most important character in Paradise Lost. She was created from Adams rib as his helpmeet. And then lord GOD caused a deep sleep to fall on ADAM ,and he slept; he took one of his ribs , and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the lord GOD had taken from man He made into a woman ,and He brought her to the man(Genesis 2:21,22). 12-10-2019 4
It is said that it was EVE who first ate the forbidden apple and she also tempted ADAM to eat it. It is said that she was created from Adams rib and he was his master . She was tempted by Serpant to ate the forbidden apple.Eve was curious thats why she ate the apple but Adam was aware of the consequences of eating the apple ,but instead of stopping her he ate the forbidden apple and when GOD gave them punishment he put all the blame on EVE . Here the question arises WHO IS THE FIRST SINNER ? ADAM OR EVE. 12-10-2019 5
TRANSGRESSOR means TO GO BEYOND A BOUNDARY OR LIMIT. I see EVE as curious and revolutionary character. .I accept that EVE broke the rule and ate the forbidden apple but she is a human and human can never be perfect ,human is a curious creature. it's in human nature to do the things first they are told not to do . she wanted to gain knowledge and wanted to become equal to ADAM .she says that , " If this be our condition , thus to dwell in narrow circuit strained by a Foe , subtle or violent , we nit endued single with like defence whatever met ,how are we happy , still in fear of harm ?but harm precedes not(from our ) sin". This lines shows EVE's desire for free will. 12-10-2019 6
The first thing EVE does upon coming to life is stare at herself in a lack just like the GREEK mythological hero , NARCISSUS, who fell in love with his own reflection and died as a result but here Eve does not die which means she is not as dumb as NARCISSUS. EVE is not as bad and stupid as she is portrayed. Comparison of Eve with Narcissus 12-10-2019 7
after knowing that Adam and Eve ate the forbidden apple GOD punished both but the punishment of Eve is more painful in comparison of Adam .God said : I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you(Genesis 3:16) This punishment leads us to so many questions ; Does she really deserve this kind of cruel punishment ? Is God misogynist ? Why did he make them work in the same garden where the forbidden tree was located ? He is almighty and merciful so why he did not forgive them both? 12-10-2019 8
