The Bible gives one of the earliest and most famous accounts of the origins of sin and evil. In the Book of Genesis‚ Adam and Eve‚ who at first live peacefully and without sin in the Garden of Eden‚ break God’s only law by eating an apple from the forbidden tree. An angry God places a curse on Adam‚ Eve‚ and all future peoples so that they will now be born with original sin‚ thus allowing evil to enter the world. Since this ancient story‚ many have attempted to understand further the development

particular the Parson’s tale‚ Chaucer provides a comprehensive list of the Seven Deadly Sins and what each sin entails‚ including their origins and subsets. Following each chief sin‚ he offers a remedium (remedy)‚ or virtue‚ for the corresponding vices – including their subsets as well. Prior to the section in which he offers this guidance‚ he makes clear his belief that pride is the core of all sin‚ and that sin itself is a consequence of the internal battle between spirit and flesh.

In Part IV‚ the poem’s protagonist achieves forgiveness for his sin of killing the Albatross‚ considered a protective omen by seafarers. In a wider sense‚ the story of his liberation from guilt presents powerful metaphors for the death of Jesus Christ and the fate of the Mariner is linked‚ symbolically‚ with the fate

This original offence they committed caused all their descendants to fall to a state very different from the original state in which they bear the consequences of that fault. Genesis 2:25 tells us “and they were both naked and unashamed”‚ they were established in holiness and justice in which they knew no evil or death.

On the surface‚ King Lear is a pagan play‚ as it is set in pre-Christian England. But it has‚ for all that‚ no shortage of appeals to deity and interesting speculation. This is‚ after all‚ a play set on the brink of eternity and it must make us wonder on the universe in relationship to the characters and ourselves. However‚ I believe that‚ although set in pre-Christian times‚ Shakespeare’s King Lear provided myriad allusions to Christian themes‚ parables‚ and characters such as the enduring of suffering

Augustine uses to evaluate the nature of virtue and sin. He attributes this event from his youth as a proposal for the need to find God in order to find grace and turn away from sin. Augustine shows profound honesty when he confesses that he stole the pears not because he wanted or needed them‚ but because he enjoyed the lustful‚ immoral and wicked feeling he obtained from the act of stealing and that he had a deep‚ subconscious desire to sin. Augustine tells this tale as if he is reconciling for
