The Story of Lilith Minute Paper

Today in class, we discussed various interpretations of the story of Lilith. Our group talked about the authority of Lilith, and how she decided to banish herself, as well as kill 100 of her own babies each day. We also discussed the gender roles, and how the times have changed based on the ancient and more modern stories of Lilith. Lilith’s attitude throughout the story can be said to be “demonic”, where the audience should now feel disgusted instead of sympathetic.
