Eve's moment of weakness defines the fate of all humanity from there on forth. I think that there was this creation of the knowledge tree as a test to see if the most recent/powerful creation could resist temptation. Because there was no temptation at the beggining the serpant was sent in. "Nothing tastes as sweet as what I can't have"(For you I will by Teddy Geiger) This situation, of the havig acces to something that isn't supposed to be touched or used is presented throughout greek mythology. For example when Venus says to Adonis ,"Beware how you expose yourself to danger and put my happiness to risk." and Adonis does it anyways. It's hard to explain but we are all familiar with the feeling after you do something that you aren't supposed to. It gives you adrelnaline, an edge. Although, as we all know, there are consecuences.
In Pandora's Box, this is obvious. Because of her need to defy the the rules, she unleashed bad things unto the world that later led to war and other unfotunate events. This can be connected to Gen.3 where Adam and Eve eat of the forbitten fruit. The text states that the following generations had to undergo the consequences. Although Pandora's Box is one explanation for what has happened to the world Adam and Eve could be Another.
"And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons." From this time forth this moment there was no comfort zone betweeen two naked bodies to the point in which you can just walk around in your natural coat. This indirectly leading to prejudice and creating ideas of how some things or ideas or situations should be portrayed. This corruption of the original, innocent human. By eating the forbidden fruit, Eve for ever paved our path to be commited to be driven by our wants and not by our needs.
I wonder, if there was a flood(new beggining), why are we still cosrrupt?
