According to the book of Genesis, God told Adam that he could eat of any tree in the garden except the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Adam passed this on to Eve. Eve succumbed to temptation and ate anyway, and tempted Adam to eat. So, each should be blamed individually for giving in to their own temptations.

It's an allegory, an example of how people are still falling prey to their own temptations.
