I think misanthropy is the way they went with it, sure. Without getting too weedy about how coming of age stories can absolutely be tragedies and genre mixing is a hallmark of good storytelling...I think that the narrative as it is does refer to their growth - even if it casts that growth as a net (or even pure) negative.
It wasn't really written or even included in a truly ancient past, but in a relatively more contemporary society that valued small livestock operations in a dispersed populace over the drudgery of agrarian field work in denser settlements with which it was very familiar, due to constant conflict between the two. The good old times or golden age bits would be the kings, not adam and eve - but that's just my take. That's what theocrats want us to return to, it's not like they're out they're telling us to ditch our underwear and amble around a garden fucking like carefree animals.
(props to islam for flirting with the idea, but you have to die first... in good standing with the djinn...and it's only redeemable if you possess a penis....so that's a bummer)
