Sexual identity, the coming into age or coming into knowledge that sets one apart or at odds with ones parents and alters that relationship. That which expels you from the garden of your youth - provided by your father, that which expels you from innocence - that which makes you culpable? There's an amusing rabbinical opinion that the knowledge gained was, in fact, knowledge of the law. Before they possessed this knowledge they could not offend god, could not do wrong. There is also a strong current of god or divine forces as capricious, callous, or cruel..why assume that the authors didn't intend this to be so? Life can be cruel, callous....it can feel like the nameless, infinitely vast forces surrounding you are decidedly inhuman.
