The story “The Adam and the Eve” reflects the biblical description of the two central characters
that is Adam and the Eve. Adam was the first man who was created by God, and he was the first
woman who was also created by God. Both of these characters were put in the land on the earth
and both Eve and Adam were instructed by God that they were only allowed to eat any fruit from
any type of tree, but they cannot eat the fruits of the tree of good and evil. The God also tried to
give them a real warning that they should not eat the fruits of the tree of good and evil because
they would die if they commit that action. It was the one day when the Satan came in the form of
a snake and started talking to both of them. Somehow he became successful in making as well as
convincing her to eat the fruits borne by the tree of good and evil. After the continuous efforts of
The Serpent, Eve got convinced and ate the fruits of the tree (LEVISON, 2004).
God did not want Adam and Eve to eat the apples of the tree of good and evil and thus expected
that there should be a path of truth and loyalty that should be followed by his creations (Baker ,
1998).
