The Apple – Symbol of Good or Evil?

Apples have been used in many popular legends and stories as both a symbol of good and evil. Today, the apple is more popular than ever. Google shows 68 million global monthly searches for the term apple.

Why is the apple so popular in our stories and mythologies? Why does the apple represent strong and sometimes conflicting attributes? What does the apple symbol truly mean?

Can you tell where these “apple” symbols come from? (movie, legend, story, expression, logo, saying….)

The apple is frequently used as a symbol of love. Pictures of Venus often show her holding an apple. Venus is a Roman goddess associated with love,

Many artists depict the Forbidden Fruit in the Bible as an apple. Just as the Serpent tempted Eve to partake of the Fruit of Knowledge, which led to sin and the fall of man.

In Genesis, Adam and Eve supposedly ate an apple from the tree of infinite wisdom. This displeased God, so He took away their paradise (their perfect world). For the first time, Adam and Eve realized that they were naked in the Garden of Eden and felt ashamed.

Love and beauty is temptation, and our strong passion to possess that love or beauty can quickly turn into lust and obsession. This is what started the well-known Trojan War.

In this Greek tragedy, the Goddess of Discord Eris throws an apple into a wedding party. This apple was labelled with the words ‘For the most beautiful one‘.

The Goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite all laid claim to this apple because each thought of herself as the most beautiful. Beauty, in this case, caused envy and jealousy.

Why do you think Lois Lowry used an apple as a symbol in the novel?
