According to the story, God took both Adam and Eve to the Tree "Hey .. you two! C'mere! See this Tree? Don't touch! Mine!" (yes, I gave God a Brooklyn accent). So Eve knew from the start not to touch, but she wanted it anyway and probably more so now that she was told no. So the Serpent (which is Temptation) talks her into it and she bites the apple. Nowhere in that lore does it say she had to take time to digest this, so we can safely assume her gaining that Knowledge of Good and Evil was instantaneous. She knew now WHY God said no. Now we come to the part everyone glosses over: she had a choice. At that moment, knowing what she did, she had a choice. She could have presented herself to God for judgement, apologizing for eating the forbidden fruit, and kept Adam out of it. Instead, she chose to rope the poor guy into it so she doesn't have to be alone. Shared sin is less terrible, to some minds. Three bad choices, three curses, and bait for fallen angels.

It's all symbolic. A fact most Christians just cannot wrap their heads around. There's points in the bible where it speaks straight to you. There a parables where it is making a point through a story. Then there's symbolism and frankly - lies the Jews like to tell (Like the story of pharaoh)

But, the standard interpretation of that event is that Adam should have been paying closer attention to her. Plus, she managed to entice him into doing the deed himself. "It's no use men; it's ALL and always you're fault!" ~Women The World Over

this is actually something I used to think about as a boy when I was in church. “wow so Eve knew not to eat from the tree, but then did and grew ashamed, so instead chose to make sure Adam felt the same shame? she sounds just like the snake!”
