My mom is going to read this and say, “un’altra mostra contro la religione, Francesca?”.  Sì Mamma... Lilith serves as a very admirable and relatable biblical figure to me. Her being made from the earth made her immediately aware of her equal footing with Adam. Her rejection of Adam solidifies her stance, while also queering her as a character. Her leaving the garden of Eden serves as liberation rather than banishment.
