Episode notes
The story of Adam and Eve in the garden showcases the theme of individuals attempting to claim the authority to determine their own values and moral code. By disobeying God's instruction not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, Eve seeks the power to define morality for herself, aspiring to be like gods. This act signifies intellectual pretension and an attempt to overthrow the established moral order. Eve's presumption of being all-powerful leads her to believe that she can handle embracing even the most poisonous aspects of life. Adam's willingness to follow Eve's lead demonstrates a dual manifestation of pride - feminine pride in trying to encompass everything and masculine pride in attempting to redefine the fundamental principles of existence, even accommodating what is harmful.
