Answer and Explanation:
The poem "Adam" by Hugh Cook is notable for its analytical style. Viewing the poem through a formalist lens, we recognize it as a standalone piece, unaffected by the external environment or societal influences. The title initially indicates it revolves around a central character named Adam, the first individual in paradise to consume the forbidden fruit. Eden parallels today's world, where, just like Adam who lacked distractions, we yearn for stimulating experiences and ultimately heeding his instincts to eat the fruit underscores that quest for excitement.
When assessing the poem through a feminist viewpoint, we must consider the external factors that prompted Adam's choice.
From this feminist angle, one can argue that the serpent's influence motivated Adam to seek out the fruit, and by the poem's conclusion, it hints at another character shadowing him as he exits Eden;
Something on two legs
Is running after him.
