Title of the paper : Revisiting Eden Abandoned, a Perspective of Adams First Wife Lilith

Abstract: The apocryphal story of Lilith briefly runs as God created Adam and Lilith out of clay, but Lilith was not submissive enough to Adam. So she left Eden, and a more compliant woman, Eve, was created out of Adams rib. Lilith went on to wreak havoc. Though the scriptures teem with demons and screech owls that prey on infants and frighten young men in their sleep, Lilith is not mentioned by name in the King James translation of the Bible, at least. But this irresistible character, the first draft of womankind, the first first wife, features extensively in fiction, fantasy, television, video games, and heavy metal. Naturally, she is a favourite of feminists.This paper aims to explore gender deformity through the character Lilith in the novel Eden Abandoned by Shinie Antony.
