This painting of Adam & Eve reminds admirers of it of the story that goes along with it. The story this painting tells is incredibly similar to the story of Macbeth. In Macbeth, Macbeth and his wife are in the King’s favor. They are treated extremely well, and are pampered at feasts and ceremonies. In addition to this, the King rewards them by giving them a new area to rule, when he makes Macbeth the Thane of Cawdor. However, this was not enough for Macbeth. Macbeth had wanted more ever since the three witches had told him that he was going to be king. However in attempting to gain more, he and his wife lost everything in the end, and died disgraceful deaths.
Macbeth’s story of misfortune is nearly identical to that of the painting. The story of the painting tells that of Adam & Eve. Adam & Eve lived incredible lives. However, a snake set in motion a wicked idea in their head. This idea caused them to become increasingly greedy, and to desire more. This ended up being the downfall of Adam & Eve. They were kicked out of their home and lost everything due to their despicable behavior. They suffered the consequences of greed, just like Macbeth and Lady Macbeth did. Both couples were given more than enough to live a happy life on, but they were tempted by the idea of more. In the end, it ended up poisoning their minds, and either ruining their lives or ending them. In addition to this, in both cases the couples betrayed one of their closest friends. In Macbeth’s case, he killed the king who had treated Macbeth as his own song. In Adam & Eve’s situation, they made a point of doing the complete opposite of what God had commanded, and in doing so, lost his trust entirely.
