Adam is the first man, placed in the supposedly peaceful but secretly dangerous Garden of Eden. He relies on his profound affection and his ability to create art to protect himself and his partner. Frightened by his creator's potential anger, he sings a song to express his pure, embodied love as a defense against punishment.

Eve is the first woman and an active agent of freewill within the garden. Rather than existing simply as a passive creation, she makes the conscious choice to defy divine restrictions specifically for Adam's sake. Her rebellion acts as a catalyst that allows human self-determination to flourish outside the predatory environment of Eden.

God is the divine creator of the Garden of Eden and its human inhabitants. Unlike an unyielding, omnipotent deity, this god acts as a relatively passive figure who is easily influenced by human emotion and action. He exhibits recognizable human qualities, reacting to events with both jealousy and profound sympathy.

The serpent is a predatory animal residing in the Garden of Eden. It represents temptation and acts as a disruptive force against divine order. Along with vipers and panthers, its presence indicates that the garden is an inherently hostile environment for humanity.
