478 Words2 Pages

1. Genesis 3: 1-5 (Temptation)
The serpent was smarter and wiser than the other beasts/ animals. Was the serpent a snake before “The Fall”? He knows that God gave the instructions to Adam and not directly to the woman. Did he attack the weakest or more vulnerable one? The woman was afraid that she would die if she eats from the tree, after hearing that she will not die and that she will become wiser and be like God it lures her in. 2. Genesis 3: 6-9 (The Fall)
The serpent did not force the fruit down the woman’s throat; she chooses herself to eat it and also gave it to Adam. Adam could have said no, but he did not. Interesting that only after Adam (not after the woman eats it) eats the fruit their eyes open and they both realized that they were naked. They tried to cover their naked bodies by themselves, and they hide from God, but they realized that they could fix their mistake or hide from God. 3. Genesis 3: 10-13 (Confrontation)

The woman would have a lot of pain during childbirth (more than other animals), and she would experience pain concerning her children in general, and her husband would rule over her. God curse the ground because of Adam before sin there was only coming good out of the ground, but now there will be thorns and thistles. Before the fall Adam was working, but there was joy in it after the curse it became hard and painful. The final curse is that Adam would become dust again; his end would be death not an end of

    She then moves her focus onto Genesis 4:1-16, looking at the connection between Cain, Adam and Noah. The story of Adam contains Adam being formed out of the ground, and he will eventually end up back in the ground. The word “Adam” itself has roots that go back to the word “ground”, and Genesis links humanity to the ground by saying that humans essentially need to take care of the ground. This is shown in the case of Cain. Cain is a tiller of the ground, and Noah is a man of the ground, thus

    In Frankenstein, Victor asks Walton for a favor as he lies on his deathbed saying, “I asked you to undertake my unfinished work; and I renew this request now, when I am only induced by reason and virtue” (157). Shelley repeatedly uses the root word “un” in the words “undertake” and “unfinished”, as the root of both words means not, directly contradicting Victor’s claim that he is “only induced by reason and virtue”. Just as Satan is notorious for being deceptive, Victor also uses deception to his advantage in an attempt to convince Walton to carry out his revenge against the Creature after he dies. Victor’s trickery is very similar to Satan’s plan to tempt Adam and Eve into pursuing knowledge. He sneaks into the Garden of Eden disguised as a snake, a creature with a reputation for being notorious trickster who uses deceptive language to play tricks on humans.
