Mark Twain - interpretaion

[Steele]

Mark Twain:

"After all these years, I see that I was mistaken about Eve in the beginning; it is better to live outside the Garden with her than inside it without her."

Can anyone relate to this? What is his meaning?

 

[Aureliano]

I cant relate to it, but the meaning is that at first he despised Eve and thought of her as in impediment, sentimental, etc. But after being with her for so long, Adam realises he loves Eve and would give up the Garden of Eden for her, because Eden is wherever Eve is.

 

[Steele]

Aureliano, how do you come to this conclusion?
