Golding is referring to the Tree of Knowledge, which comes from the Bible. The Tree of Knowledge had a fruit- an apple- which Adam and Eve ate from. Satan is represented in the novel as the beast.

Where Adam and Eve eat the forbidden fruit from the tree of good and evil. Quinn puts his own twist on this story. Once Quinn is done with his version of the story, the narrator tells Ishmael that the story was told in the leavers point of view. To which Ishmael says, “If it had been written from the taker point of view, the knowledge of good and evil wouldn’t have been forbidden to Adam, it would have been thrust upon him” (Quinn 166).
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).
God told Adam and Eve, that they were able to eat from any tree, but one -- the tree of good and evil. If they ate from that tree, they would learn the difference between good and evil. However, a serpent personified as Satan coaxed them into eating an apple from the tree. Due to their betrayal of God's orders, the act of sinning was created, and it would continue to affect all human life after them. This perpetuous

Furthermore, when Frankenstein meets his monster while journeying, the ghoul states that despite the hatred between them, “’I ought to be thy Adam’” (73). This is a biblical allusion to the story of the world creation, and the story of Adam and Eve. Adam was the direct product of God. He was tempted to taste the knowledge fruits, but eventually averted his will. He also attempted to persuade Eve not to taste these fruits.
When Satan is caught by Ithurel and Zephon, he is whispering evil thoughts to Eve. “him there they found/ Squat like a toad, close at ear of Eve/Assaying by his devilish art to reach/ The organs of her fancy” (4.799-803). This is Satan’s first attempt to lure Eve to eat the ‘‘Forbidden Fruit’’
Adam’s Belief Story There was once a boy named “Adam”, Adam held onto the belief statement “You can learn from your mistakes”. He held onto this belief statement because when he was in 8th grade there were many times when he failed tests and did not ask for help and did not ask questions. When he was in 8th grade he struggled a whole lot in one certain subject which was math. Math had always been Adam’s least favorite subject, in 8th grade when the math teacher would teach a lesson and explain it to the students very well and detailed Adam would still wouldn't understand half of the time. Adam had always been a slow learner and to this day he still is, in order for him to understand something in math you would have to teach him
In Genesis, the test that Adam and Eve faced was the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. God told them not to eat the fruit in Genesis 2:17: “but as for the tree of knowledge of good and bad, you must not eat of it”. They didn’t obey God and they ate the fruit anyway, so God punished them for failing the test. In our society today we still have tests/, laws, and boundaries to keep people in check. If we didn’t have these tests, we wouldn’t know our limits.
Genesis is supposed to teach individuals a moral code, so they can interact with the world in a healthy manner, however, I disagree. The so called “morals” that the bible teaches are disrespectful and degrading to women, teach that God can be arbitrary and harm humanity without reason, and teach a person that deception is the best tool to move through life. Women are treated as if they are property or livestock. They are also silenced, disrespected and their worth is basically dirt. In the very beginning of Genesis Eve did not serve any other purpose besides being a companion to Adam and then she is blamed for the downfall of humanity such as when Adam said in Genesis 3, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me the fruit
When Adam and Eve bit into that apple the whole world, changed and a lot more than I think they realized. They had just started a war that would last forever, that being when God’s plan is complete. There are two sides of this battle God’s and Satan's. God’s side is filled with unity, diversity, roles, responsibility, consistent, and logical. Whereas Satan’s side is filled division, unification, jealousy, blame, disorder, and death.
Once Satan had manipulated Eve into eating the fruit, God “Sent him out of the gardens of/ Eden to tip the ground from which he was taken” (Genesis 3:23). Through the end of book one of Milton’s creations, Beelzbub one of Satan’s angels had a lurking suspicion that God can’t be overpowered (Book 1).
