Part Two: Writing an Essay
In terms of divine authorization of the subjugation of women, the Book of Genesis has been a medium of primary source for gender and morality. Although the story is reflected with the information of the Hebrew culture, and bias context is more inclined towards history rather than divine in origin. This is more so because for the last 2000 years, Eve has been the representation of the identity of all women in existence. It is through their actions and nature, the identity of women was presented (Epstein, 2015). It is also though Eve’s actions the interest women are unveiled. In Western civilization, women have been represented as disobedient, guileless, weak-willed, disloyal, and seductive and behaviors that are influenced by self-interest since ancient times. The message of Genesis expresses that regardless of what women accomplish on the planet, men ought not completely confide in women and even women ought not confide in one another either. Notwithstanding as indicated by the scholar Tertullian, women mean the first sin and the fall of human race. The view of Eve has advanced and persevered through surprising tirelessness that endures as a blockage with the end goal to rectify the techniques for sexual orientation among genders (Calvin, 2018). Eve has additionally been recognized as the foundation for a considerable length of time of laws and measures with the end goal to constrain the activities, rights and the status of women. It very well may be reflected deliberately or unwittingly that would fill in as the instrument utilized against women with the end goal to challenge male authority. In western human progress, this idea is so profoundly established in the socio-religious factors that there has been numerous endeavors to dishonor it or essentially defaming it (Holm-Hudson, 2017). By serving as a body of patriarchal fiction and historical fiction and myth, this concept has met with minimal success. Another factor involved is counterbalance. As love acts as a balance between independence and interdependent, the fact is unclear whether Eve actually wanted to be a second fiddle to Adam (Sa’di, 2017). She wanted both a relationship and a state of autonomy. She was independent and has both qualities of selfishness and selflessness. This was shown as an antidote for loneliness for Eve. Another factor that is reflected is coronation as other than Eve, Adam was equally involved. When it is described, it is not just a story of Adam or just the story of Eve. It is both of their stories told together. There have also been attempts in order to correct the popular belief that Eve tempted Adam in order to eat the fruit despite the fact that in Genesis 3:6 it is mentioned that both she and Adam ate the fruit together.
Therefore from the above discourse it very well may be reasoned that the perspective of even and women everywhere throughout the world has been suggested into the universe of culture from a degree that characterizes the normal condition and conduct of women. From a malignant view and degree this proceeds to unpretentiously impact the negative strategies to display the impression of women ought to be continually conceived inside the brain while seeing the pictures associated with it.
