literature‚ primarily Christian and Jewish‚ the role of women has been negatively characterized as a damsel in distress‚ a princess‚ and or a temptress and wicked. Much of these characterizations all allude back to one quintessential story in the book of genesis.

Eve was the first to disobey God and to eat the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge in Genesis 1‚ which suggests that women is weaker in will and had less self-control. Besides‚ some might argue that God created women as a ‘helper’ for men and as a companion. According to Genesis 2 in the bible‚ Eve is created from Adam’s ribs‚ therefore women is inferior to men. Some people also believe that the curse in Genesis 3 affects the men by having more outdoor and physical labour while the women is affected

theories put forth by Richter. Which do you think is the best interpretation of Genesis 1-3? Why? The first theory is the gap theory (p 95-96).
