\u201cThe way God gazed at Adam.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Man is made \u201cin the image of God,\u201d so is Louise (assuming this is Louise) seeing herself in the narrator? Does she see a kindred Spirit, but one that she has created for herself? Was Adam truly the most spectacular thing God had ever seen, after spending an eternity amidst the \u05ea\u05b9\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc \u05d5\u05b8\u05d1\u05b9\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc (chaos and nothingness)? Was her marriage the nothingness and the chaos that inspired her to create the world, and eventually make the narrator her Adam?<\/p>\n Adam was not enough though, there has to be a Lilith, and eventually an Eve. A \u201cmistake\u201d before the \u201cfinal draft.\u201d If the narrator is Adam, who will be Lilith? Who will be Eve? Is this the forbearing of discontent? Of the self-righteousness and anger? Is Eden the bedroom? When will they be stripped of their innocence, their ignorance, their paradise? What will be their ultimate sin, the consumption of the forbidden fruit? Is this affair not the fruit, but the creation of the world itself?<\/p>\n \u201cI am embarrassed by your look of love and possession and pride.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Perhaps being \u201cAdam\u201d is more for her sake (assuming the narrator uses she pronouns (my own personal assumption)) than for her lover\u2019s, in that this is the very first time for her that she has felt this way, that she has been looked upon with this combination of strong emotion. This being the first time for her, perhaps her only point of reference is the very first human. But while she is in the presence of \u201cGod,\u201d is she not as powerful, as almighty? Is the fact that she can invoke these feelings not divine?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cBut you are gazing at me the way God gazed at Adam and I am embarrassed by your look of love and possession and pride.\u201d Page 18 \u201cThe way God gazed at Adam.\u201d\u00a0 Man is made \u201cin the image of God,\u201d so is Louise (assuming this is Louise) seeing herself in the narrator?
