What does the serpent and Adam and Eve represent in the story?

A:If we think of the story of the Garden of Eden as an allegory, we can make the serpent represent whatever we want. Many suggest Satan. Or we can regard the story as literally true, in which case the serpent was real and should not represent anything. Or, in the words of Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis), we can learn most from the story by regarding it as a mythical yet realistic portrait of permanent truths about our humanity, rather than as a historical yet idealised portrait of a blissful existence we once enjoyed but lost. The story was not about the snake, which was merely a motif commonly used in ancient Near Eastern mythology, but about man's longing for immortality.
