Adam And Eve: A Tragic Love Story by dorox(m): 12:23am On Apr 14, 2013 |
At first blush, the story of Romeo and Juliet might not seem all that similar to that of Adam and Eve, but in fact they are quite close, sharing the same themes of sacrifice and defiance, of passionate love and total devotion to each other such that living life without the other becomes worse than death. The Romeo and Juliet story is well known, so i won't be dwelling on it as much as that of Adam and Eve that is relatively unknown. Recall that Adam became sad and despondent because he was lonely, there was none of his kind in the beautiful garden he could relate with and imagine how he must have felt on seeing Eve for the first time to have exclaimed; bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh! It was indeed love at first sight. Adam ate the fruit not because he was naive of the outcome,he new that eating it comes with a death sentence for the scripture tells us in 1Tim 2:14 that the man was not deceived. If he wasn't deceived, why did he eat the fruit? The answer is simple, Eve had already eaten the fruit(poison) that brings death and knowing that she was going to die, Adam made the fatal decision to die with her rather than to live in God's beautiful garden forever without his Eve. Adam loved Eve more than God and life to him was meaningless without Eve, so he rebelled against God, choosing to die with his wife rather than facing life alone and unhappy. Their love in many ways was like that of romeo and Juliet. It was deep, it was passionate and it was total. And like Romeo and Juliet, it was also selfish, self-centered and very irresponsible the sacrifice they were willing to make on account of their love irrespective of the effect it might have on others. 3 Likes |
