The term "forbidden fruit" is a metaphor that describes any object of desire whose appeal is a direct result of the knowledge that it cannot or should not be obtained or something that someone may want but cannot have. The phrase refers to the Book of Genesis,[1] where it is the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil eaten by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. As a result of their decision to eat the fruit, Adam and Eve lost their innocence (according to the Christian interpretation), became separated from God and were exiled from the garden where they were forced to adopt agriculture under less than desirable circumstances for a living. The concept of "knowing" good and evil can be best understood as being emotionally entangled with the struggle of determining the difference.
Ppl may ask why the hell Eve took that fruit when she clearly noes that it is evil and bad..?? The love for the fruit temporarily blinded her?? or the fact that the fruit is sth she not suppose to have and neva tot of having in the beginning and therefore the appeal is soooo much greater? No one noes.... but God and all the animals in the Garden were sad that she eventually ate it... who can blame them? seeing her losing her innocence and getting exiled from the garden... God warns her multiple times but still to no avail... n the more HE warns , the more she wants the fruit...Oh well... everyone can actually see the ending do we ? but love is blind n our beloved Eve is happily munching the fruit ... everyone is sad of course, only the sneaky snake giggles in the bushes knowing that he has got her in his plan n Eve will still believe him no matter what he says he do in the bushes and no matter what others say...
n i ,can onli salute Mr Snake for his intelligence n wits in seducing Eve
