she was kind and gentle but the power of slavery overcome her once gentle spirit. He explained that she wasn’t bad a person at first, but having complete control over another human being transforms her from an angel into a demon.

Dated back to the 10th century B.C., the story of Adam and Eve is told in Genesis chapters 2 and 3 of the Christian Bible. The creation is the main focus of chapter 2 and their fall and punishment is the main focus in chapter 3. God creates Adam in his image from mud, he blows to his face and gives him life. God presents all of the animals of the land to Adam and he is not satisfied, so God created Eve out of Adams rib as a companion and helper for him, and he is satisfied with Gods work. God commands Adam and Eve to not eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. But, the serpent persuades Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, and she persuades Adam to do so as well. After they eat the forbidden fruit they realize they are naked

Mary Orr’s “The Wisdom of Eve” is a short, but very unpredictable story about a new life for Eve Harrington and about the individual she is perceived to be by her appearance however, the true identity of Eve that is hidden within is projected throughout the story. The narrator of this story opens up with “I shall call her Eve Harrington because this is not her name, though the Eve part of the alias is not unapt, considering the original’s snaky activities in a once-peaceful garden” (Orr 284). Eve Harrington made her way to stardom but in a very unusual way. Eve Harrington’s “idol” Margola Cranston and Cranston’s closes friend who narrates the story are of the few people who fell for Eve’s manipulative ways. Eve is describe an awkward and unappealing

Genesis 3 exposes the serpent, also known as the devil. The serpent asks Eve to

Explain how the story of salvation began with a man, a woman and a serpent (Gen 3:1−24)?

to scatter your enemy, to drive him before you,to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears,and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters." Genghis Khan, much like the Hebrew Bible during certain points, regards women as objects. However, to write the Hebrew Bible off as fully misogynistic would not do the ancient texts justice. From Genesis to Judges 2, the Hebrew Bible objectifies women, uses them as scapegoats, but during certain points rises them to the level of highly admired Prophets and warriors. This essay attempts to explore the various undertones of femininity depicted throughout the Hebrew Bible.

It is interesting to note that Adam and Eve are mentioned in all the Judaeo religions including Islam. In the Qur’an Adam is regarded as a prophet (a person spoken to by God). Eve is mentioned ad Hawwa, his wife. In this version when Adam came to life, God sent a number of angels to fetch clay from the earth to form him and they took the clay from a variety of sources to signify the variety in human beings. Their version of Satan is Iblis who refuses to bow down to Adam when God orders the angels to do so and is banished from heaven

At the time people thought that women were morally weaker than men. This is why the people of the time accused more women of being witches. Also they believed that the devil would recruit the weak to do his work so women, children and the insane. They also believed that the soon to be which would sign a mental contract with the devil turning them into a which.

Throughout history, there have been certain gender roles established for both males and females. For ages, many held the belief that women must fit a certain mold— good wife, housekeeper, caretaker, etc.,— solely based on the notion that "that 's what women are supposed to do". These societal standards that women are held to are prevalent in all kinds of literature, ranging from works from biblical times to the late nineteenth century. Through her novel, The Awakening, Kate Chopin shows a contrast between the characters of Mademoiselle Reisz and Adèle Ratignolle versus that of Mary Magdalene and Mary the Mother of God as seen in the bible. This contrast pits the image of

Eve has been a powerful female figure throughout history and provoked so many female authors because she is depicted as the first woman, made from the rib of the first man, Adam. Since Eve was the first, and mother to all women, she was preserved to have passed on an evil nature to all women after tasting the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge and asking Adam to as well. Women have invested their time in Eve’s defense by arguing that it was not the fault of Eve alone, and that if Adam was supposed the be a symbol of strength, and wisdom, then he should been able to see through Eve’s fruit and the trickery of the serpent. The story bible has been used as a symbol of oppression for women by the word of God being law in the Christian

’‘Lilith is complex in that she makes decisions for what she wants to happen, but in every choice she still considers what the group as a whole would like to see happen’’(p 180, Dawn). Lilith accepts the label as a traitor by the humans because she knows that with every choice she has made, she has thought about

Christianity has been around for thousands of years, and the difficulties that Christians have faced have been around just about as long as the religion has existed. There are new difficulties introduced every day that are new or get worse by the modern society’s lack of enthusiasm towards religion in itself, and advances in technology that creates images and ideas that go against the Christian beliefs. Cassie Bernall, for example—she is not a celebrity, a politician, or a well-known public figure, but she is a survivor. Cassie Rene Bernall was viciously murdered in the Columbine High School Shooting in Columbine, Colorado. It was reported at that time that during her attack, one of the shooters asked her if she believed in God as she hid her

Osherow Michele, the author of this text , investigates revised version of the character lilith in women's science fiction. The author does this by examining lilith myths as they have been created in attempt to set them up as a site ready for revision, uses Moore and Butler as examples of the recreation of lilith and to analyze the cultural consequences of these new myths. As Oshrew puts it these revisions “reflect evolving attitudes toward women's place within a patriarchal culture”. Women are no longer confined to being relevant only because of their relation to a male main character. Additionally these women are not restricted to being “good” or “bad” based on their service to the patriarchy. The lilith myth originates in literature devoted

The story of the demon and his wife also show the power of women. The power illustrated here is the power that she has over two kings. She knew that they would be afraid of the demon, and used their fear to her advantage. As said in the text:

The Bible introduces Dinah as the daughter of Jacob from Leah; Gen. 30:21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah. The remainder of the book of Genesis gives some detail that Dinah was bare in Padanaram, she was the seventh children from Leah and with her other brother (Gen. 46:15). The Bible doesn't describe the appearance, the attitude, even the character of Dinah. We can see a little bit character of Dinah in one occasion when Jacob and family stay some time in the Shechem (Gen. 34:1-31).
