Answer:I suppose that the question has to do with a Biblical Paradise (Hebrew myth) depicted in the first Moses´s book called "Genesis" which is party derived from the Babylonian myth of Paradise (word Paradise comes from Persian language meaning the garden separated from the rest of the world by a wall). I am not going to talk about older version(s) that speaks about Lilith as Adam´s wife and counterpart created independently of him

Explanation:I´m going to offer psychologial interpretation. First there is a god and Garden and in the garden there is a tree of knowledge and tree of life. The first one = eating the apple (assimilation of its fruits) leads to ability to differentiate good and evil. Psychologically speaking differentiate good and evil = to become conscious, i.e. leaving unconscious condition. Adam and Eve are created unconscious, i.e. identified with divine creation, unaware of their individuality, freedom do act and think. In another words they are in childish condition or using other words they are spiritually and intellectually blind. That is the beginning of a drama. There is a taboo ...eating from trees. They obey because they are identified with the order of their creator. But in the second act of a drama there is a God´s counterpart or God´s "dark" side which is a snake ....snakes puts things in movement because he initates breaking the taboo and like that boy and girl are getting conscious. In another words, breaking taboo makes us sinners but we are able to see better and differentiate better....So they eat the apple, become conscious and consequently expulsed from Paradise (unconscious condition). It is a contradictory ...be conscious and stay in a Paradise. So they become conscious and leave a Paradise.
