LOVE: A MYTH OF IMPOSSIBILITY IN THE TRAIL OF FIGURES OF ADAM – EVE - LILITH

Summary/Abstract: "Love," the primary subject of art, also exhibits the characteristics of individual social myth. The source of basic fact and concept of woman-man relationship to which "love" is related; the root and qualities of moral tradition and opinions can be seen from the "creation" narrations of holy books and various precepts. Some "creation" narration and myths tells about the creation of a woman named "Lilith" before Eve. In a creation story belonging to the 2000 BC, when she was first seen, Lilith, being the goddess of the matriarchal period and expelled from the patriarchal Sumerian world, is seen as an excluded character in the scripts of Cabala doctrines, too. In narrations and compositions, excluding the "powerful-subject" woman image from social life and rendering acceptable the woman identity which is dependent on a "power" composed of God-government-man, Lilith and Eve show mythological figure features symbolizing the opposite poles of woman identity and "morals.” In works of art performing the progressive events which come up with the persuasion of a living creature, which is the combination of snake-Devil-woman (Lilith) in holy scripts, Eve about the "forbidden fruit", two characters are reflected with the imagery of contrasts representing hostility. In the descriptions of some works of art illustrating the art playing a part in the service of "gender ideology" and in modern digital-fantastic descriptions, a connection between the women and misdeed is made explicit with figures composed of snake-woman. Man gender of mankind building an ownership relation with the universe develops "dominance" in a more complicated way against its female and urged the woman to be either Lilith or Eve; and he was in the shadow of the unreal "power-strength" imagery. In the world shaped with "benefit values," "love," whose sides cannot be free-real subjects, has turned into an impossible myth, let alone being real.
