there is a particular useful comparison can be made between the Song of Songs and the myth of the Garden of Eden in Genesis, whose preoccupations it shares, and of which it is an inversion, since it portrays Paradise in this world, rediscovered through love. The Song transforms the images and motifs of the story of the Garden of Eden, so that it can be seen as a commentary on it. The garden functions as a setting and a fully -worked image in the Song, and the author will relate it to its mythological prototype in the garden of Eden and plot their correlations and defferences.
