Genesis 4-6
Very patriarchal structure of peopling. It's odd how each firstborn male is focused on and their lifespan consists of living like 100 years, having a firstborn, and then living another 700 years and having "sons and daughters". Also the wrath of God seems unjust to me, punishing Abel for doing something that hasn't even been discussed as evil. It felt like what happened between God and Adam before.

Genesis 1-3 has a lot to pick apart right out of the gate. The creation of all physical things gives life to Adam and Eve and through the "Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil", reveals the impact of abstract concepts. I got some 'Frankenstein' vibes when the confrontation between Adam and Eve and God happened in Eden. It also makes me think about the modern concept of sexuality.
