Genesis forbidden fruit

The story of the Book of Genesis places the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, in the Garden of Eden where they may eat the fruit of many trees, but are forbidden by God to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

In Genesis 3, a serpent tempts the woman:
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

— Genesis 3:4–5
Desiring this wisdom, the woman eats the forbidden fruit and gives some to the man who also eats it. They become aware of their "nakedness" and make fig-leaf clothes, and hide themselves when God approaches. When confronted, Adam tells God that Eve gave him the fruit to eat, and Eve tells God the serpent deceived her into eating it. God then curses the serpent, the woman then the man, and expels the man and woman from the Garden before they ate of the tree of eternal life.

Wilhelm Tell

Tell tries to say that his failure to make obeisance to the cap on the stick was a mistake and not intentional. But Gessler isn’t interested in explanations or excuses.instead, he remarks on Tell’s skill with a bow.

Walter pipes up with a boast that his father can hit an apple from a hundred yards away. The crafty Gessler proposes a demonstration: Tell must prove his prowess by hitting an apple placed atop his son’s head. If he hits it, he will be set free.

If he misses, Gessler will have him executed. And Walter may die in the attempt.

Tell begs Gessler not to make him do this. He bares his chest to the governor, begging that he take Tell’s own life rather than risking his son’s, but Gessler is unmoved. Walter tells his father not to be afraid, that he will stand still. Then, in the play’s most famous moment, Tell removes two arrows from his quiver, notches one, and successfully shoots the apple without harming his son. Walter runs to his father, giving him back the pierced apple.
