This tree from which the woman ate because she was forbidden from it, and from which she ate and then fed Adam with it.. This tree is the symbol of the submissiveness in the woman that leads to the pleasure of disobedience, and the pampering that leads to the pleasure of resistance, and the mistrust, and the stubbornness of weakness, and the discovery of ignorance, and the inability to prevail, and the inability to prevail without the means of desire, exposure, and temptation.
