- Горка: 1
- APPLE TREE
- The tree that "bore an apple bright" calls to mind the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden. Its fruit, which God forbids Adam and Eve from eating, is traditionally referred to as an apple.
- Горка: 2
- SPEAKER
- The speaker who lures his enemy into the garden and tempts him to eat the apple is like the serpent in Eden. This suggests that the speaker’s anger has filled him with evil and led him to resemble the devil.
- Горка: 3
- FOE
- The speaker's foe is like Adam and Eve. Although they are helped by the serpent, they are still guilty of disobedience. The speaker's foe is not innocent either. He sneaks into the garden and eats the apple without permission.
- Горка: 4
- APPLE
- In the poem, as in Genesis, the fruit represents sin and death. In both cases, the sin is the cause of death.
