On Thursday in class I gave a presentation on Theodore Ziolkowski's The Sin of Knowledge. Ziolkowski has an interesting thesis that certain characters become mythic figures because they represent the folly of questing for knowledge. I found the book to be an interesting read, but did not find the theoretical analysis particularly engaging. At the end of this post you will find a link to a google docs version of my summary of The Sin of Knowledge, which is too lengthy for a blog post.

Why was Adam punished for "seeking knowledge" when it was actually Eve that sought it out?
