R-13 brings up the story of the Garden of Eden on page 61. He then calls D-503 Adam on page 62. Did you notice any of the parallels between _We_ and the biblical story before R-13 made the comparison explicit? How does the Eden theme in _We_ fit into the overall artistic structure of the novel? How does it help develop the main ideas of the novel?
