Abstract

In this article, I study Eve’s largest discours in The life of Adam and Eve, greek version. At first, I introduce the theme of the change of perspective through a contemporary novel, Jostein Gaarder’ʹs Vita Brevis. Next, I show fastly the text with which I work. Then, I aproach Eve'ʹs discours, observing in what way it is inserted in the narrative. I think about the way in which the change of perspective of Eve’s retelling makes possible the construction of a narrative which mix “to tell” and “to interpret”, like agadic Midrashim.
