Résumé
--
Everyone knows the myth of Adam and Eve: a pair of dupes, a serpent and an apple... the source of all our misfortunes. But this is a distinctly enigmatic tale: why is the fruit forbidden? What is this knowledge of good and evil that, paradoxically, is the source of all our woes? Who is this forbidding and castrating God that casts out his children? Is the fall of Adam and Eve sexual in nature? These questions can only be answered by comparing the Biblical account with other archaic myths - myths that ‘narrate’ the subconscious and have always projected man’s desires, fantasies and inhibitions. That of Adam and Eve reveals the origins of our taboos and presents man’s first images of God. Hence psychoanalysis has a role to play in the analysis of this particular tale. The mythical couple illustrate the desire for pleasure and its repression, the genesis of feelings of shame and a sense of morality, the Oedipus complex and the impulse to supplant the Father. Our author has dared invite Adam and Eve to recline on the psychiatrist’s couch, and through them, God himself!
