Review the "Immoral Acts/Vices" list you created while reading the play. Who is the most lacking in morals? Why? Is there some a critically important ethical principal this person violates (review "Ethic of Justice" from earlier handout) or is there some aspect of his/her behavior that is irresponsible (review "Ethic of Caring" from earlier handout).
Confused? Here's the same question, just another way: Many people see Eve as the "evil doer" or "villain" in this play. Is that a fair assessment? That she tries to influence Adam's choices and behavior is undeniable, but many people try to influence our actions all of the time: our parents, TV commercials, your teachers, etc. Does that make them evil, too? Before judging Eve, think about what each of us is ultimately responsible for and think about who each of us is ultimately responsible to.
Remember, all responses should be in 4 paragraph form:
--Paragraph 1: restate the question and give it some context in terms of the events of the play
--Paragraph 2: look at one possible answer
--Paragraph 3: look at a very different possible answer
--Paragraph 4: settle on the best possible answer and explain why it was the best
