Abstract

This article explains the myth of the fall of Eden, as well as the impact it has had until the 21st century on Western tradition, which is imputed to supernatural forces and demarcates conscience and freedom of choice. It also mentions the conception of evil in the Judaeo-Christian tradition, which evolves from a formal and metaphysical concept to the conception of evil as a concrete being. It also describes the role of women in a patriarchal religion in which they are attributed the condemnation of the human species.
