Behind the disobedient choice of our first parents lurks a seductive voice, opposed to God (See CCC 391).  That is the voice of Satan, the devil, who is pictured in Gen 3 as a Serpent.  Review the command God gave to Adam in Gen 2:16-17; then read the exchange between the Serpent and the woman in Gen 3:1-4.

He wanted to break the Holy union that Adam and Eve had with God.  He succeeded.
