Question:-(2) How do your read the character of Eve as transgressed and yet defendable ?
" When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he are it.
- Eve intention to taste the fruit was to gain 'knowledge', to be equal to Adam, to know good and evil as God seems to know it all, to be superior to Adam 'for, to be inferior, who is free'? She wanted to be 'free'. She wanted to exercise her free will and reason which is gifted by God. With this clarity in mind, she does what she does. She is human being and thus, acts like human being. Milton is a poet. The poet stands in favour of humans rather than God. Unknowingly, perhaps, Milton redeems Eve by giving her intentions which are quite noble and unproblematic Eve was tempted by the devil; she valued her rationing and feelings over God..and she sinned.
Adam was not received like Eve was; he valued his feelings towards her over God..and he sinned.
• After eating fruit of knowledge fruit of knowledge.They recognize their sin.
• God panished Eve.
•The seeds of patriarchy are in punishment of God.
Paradise Lost
•Human act is at the center
• Wish to 'gain' knowledge
• Adam's Love for Eve is presented as human emotion
