Comparative study of the image of First Woman of the story of creation in the Bible and Quran and it's reflection in art and literature

چکیده

The image of the first woman in the stories of the creation of man in all cultures has always been an inspiration and has had an impact on the current idea of ​​women and femininity in every culture. This first mother, who is called Eve in Abrahamic traditions and is the first woman in the story of creation, has always been reflected in different layers of Jewish, Christian and Islamic cultures, especially in literature and art, and since Abrahamic traditions, whether in "Holy texts" and their interpretations, as well as in their cultural life, were not completely separate and distinct from each other. Some intertextualities have caused the image of Eve to be influenced by each other in these three cultures despite the differences in the holy texts in this field. The present study aims to first analyze the image of the first woman separately in the Testaments and the Qur'an, and then, in a comparative perspective, analyze the reflection of the Testament image of Eve in Christian literature and art and the reflection of the Quranic image of Eve in Islamic literature and art. The result of this analysis shows that the image of Eve in the Testaments is not free from anti-feminist myths, and the creation from the left rib, the temptation of Adam, and the guilt of Eve in descent and her punishment are depicted differently from Adam, and despite the fact that the Qur'an does not paint such a picture, But Islamic literary and artistic works are also greatly influenced by the same image and are less consistent with the Quranic image of Eve.
