A Different View of Eve

Posted in Arcane

 

I know that Eve, is typically seen as something of a villainous figure and the one who is responsible for the fall of man and the exile of mankind from the Garden of Eden which is portrayed as a paradise of innocence and joy, and a play free of death, pain, and suffering, but I offer a different perspective on the story.

 

I know this is not how the Bible intended the story, but as a non-Christian, this is my own personal interpretation, and how I choose to view, though of course this is all speaking in the hypothetical sense I did not actually believe in the story of Adam and Eve and the Bible.

 

In my view Eve, was not in fact the bringer of sin, and I do not see her actions as being sinful. But even with ill, and negative aspects which might come, knowledge is still better than ignorance. Eve was the give of knowledge to man. She was the bringer of free will to man. Though some might choose to than act wrongly or do a bad thing,  it is still better to have the choice, than to live in complete bliss like nothing more than a child, not knowing that there is the possibility of making a choice, for one to know their own mind, and to than act accordingly.

 

In the long run, I think when one makes the choice to act rightly, and of course by this I personally do not mean that the "right" thing to do is accept the will of God, but to simply make right and moral choices, in life in general, would mean far more if one is knowingly and willingly living their life in a way that is helpful and beneficial to fellow living creatures, and knowing they could take another path, and choose not to, opposed to simply doing the "right" thing, because one does not understand that there is anything else that could possibly be done.

 

I do not see the serpent in the Garden as being an incarnation of evil, but instead as the bringer of knowledge, and woman being the one to give this gift to man.

 

Eve is not a villain, but rather she is a heroine.
