She was deceived and confused and so she started doubting by what the serpent had to say (v1).
V2-3) She got confused under pressure. There were 2 trees in the middle of the garden (refer back to chapter 2:9 notes).
V5) They were already made to be like God! (Gen 1:27).
She did not have good intentions, wanting to know the difference to between good and evil so that she could stay away from evil. Her only reason for eating the fruit was that she wanted to be like God.
Eve had a choice between life (tree of life) or death (God said they would die-Gen 2:16-17) in the middle of the garden. She only thought of the ‘right now’ not the consequences. She forgot to look at all that God had given them and she started looking at the one thing that God said she couldn’t have. Or rather shouldn’t have or want. He knew that it would lead to destruction.
