In another apocryphal text of the Hebrew religion, the redemptive blood of Jesus Christ flowed onto the grave of Adam who was buried under Calvary in the Holy Sepulcher. Likewise, another Jewish tradition holds that Adam was the prototype of mankind, meaning that the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and their eventual downfall is an allegory for the human condition and man's weakness for sin. In addition, some scholars argue that Adam was the father of all the races, formed from different colored clays found in the natural world.

Adam and Eve's punishment for eating the apple in Genesis relates to any of the myths we read this semester. (Metamorphoses, Theogony) Kafka's Metamorphoses, like the story of Adam and Eve, is a tale of a fall from grace.
