These words, attributed to Eve by the playwright of the N-Town play entitled The Creation of the World: The Fall of Man, serve to identify in her a restlessly transgressive desire to move out of her allocated space at the side of Adam and access the more marginal realms beyond. Instead of being compliant to her ontological role as Adam's helpmate and companion, the N-Town Eve displays a wanderlust which draws her away from Adam to enjoy the delights of the garden independently of her partner. In contrast, in the same play Adam is depicted as ‘a good gardenere’ and one who dutifully gathers the product of his labours with ‘gle and game’. It is such a flirtation with the veiled dangers of the unstructured marginal regions of her environment, brought about by an excessive appetite for consumption, which leads to Eve's seduction by the serpent and the resultant downfall of humankind and loss of Eden. In other popular medieval depictions of Eve too – such as that of the second play of the Chester Mystery Cycle – it is a similarly socially and morally transgressive Eve who brings about human downfall and effects permanent alienation from the paradisiac space allocated to Adam and herself by God.
