In Dr. Philip Zimbardo’s psychology experiment called the Stanford prison experiment, he came to realization without rules and structure of the guards, they can take matters into their own hands and do whatever they want. The prisoners were deindividualized and were just called by their number on their uniform. The cruel and unusual punishments that the guards inflicted got too out of hand would cause the prisoners to have a mental breakdown and wouldn 't be able to finish the experiment. Zimbardo called this the lucifer effect. In William Golding’s novel “Lord of the Flies” and Sheryl St. Germain’s poem “In the Garden of Eden,” Lucifer and evil are also temptations, which eventually creates the fall of man.
Though Adam and Eve and Equality 7-2521 all developed in environments of utopian perfection, they experienced different freedoms and restrictions in their lives. Furthermore, one cannot be free without knowing what freedom truly is. Adam and Eve were told that they were allowed to consume any of the fruits from the trees in the garden except from the tree in the center of the garden. “ ‘You [Adam and Eve] must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it...’ ” (Genesis 3:3).
The Garden of Eden is a beautiful place with the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil which is the “scar” of the Garden. In the book, Ralph says, “This is our island. It’s a good island.” In the Bible God says after he created everything that “It was good”.

Eve ate the fruit from the tree, committing the first sin. Then Eve tempted Adam into eating the fruit also. In the poem, the Garden of Eden “sank to grief”.
The story of Genesis talks about the story of Adam and Eve. Mostly everyone knows this story, but no one ever thought that this story had anything in common with another story, especially Popol Vuh.

Who Told You That You Were Naked? A Refreshing Reexamination of the Garden of Eden by William E. Combs is a thought-provoking book that takes a deeper look at the Genesis account of the Garden of Eden and offers a new and different perspective on the subject. Combs spends the first few chapters discussing what life may have been like in the Garden of Eden before and then immediately after Adam and his wife ate of the forbidden fruit. In the chapters that follow, he goes on to explain the consequences of what Adam and Eve had done and challenges the current, popular thoughts about such things as Adam and Eve’s motives for disobeying God, the true consequences of their actions (sin vs. the knowledge of good and evil), death, rebellion, and God’s
Based on the Garden of Eden story, humans have various features from different aspects. Human nature is the typical characteristics that human beings are born with. It is inherent and unavoidable.

The story of Adam and Eve serves as a tale on how mankind and womankind were created and placed on Earth.

This is the result of universal themes in this story about humanity’s needs and desires that we still see occurring in our society today. The story of Genesis contains three archetypal characteristics that illustrate these patterns that still demonstrate humanity’s needs.
“THE FALL” God instructed Adam and his wife Eve not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, but only eat from the tree of life that was before them. Eve was deceived by the serpent which ultimately led to their rebellion against God’s word as they partook of the tree of knowledge of good and evil and brought death and destruction to themselves and their descendants.
