Eve (DC Comics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Eve is a fictional character that appears in Neil Gaiman's comic book series The Sandman. The character is based upon the biblical Eve, the mother of humanity.

Her story is a very complex one, and is described in the graphic novel Fables and Reflections. She represents the triple nature of womankind: The Maiden, the Mother and the Crone. As such, while she is an individual, she is also one with the three fates, the graces, and the furies. This is similar to the way in which Morpheus, the hero of the series, is merely an aspect of Dream as a whole.

Eve lives in a cave in the Dreaming, and is often accompanied by Dream's raven. The first Raven, Lucien taught her how to bury Abel after Cain murdered him and she has been accompanied by a Raven ever since. She is kind and gentle and has a maternal nature. Most of the time she appears as a black-haired woman of indeterminate age. However, her appearance also mirrors her triple nature; she sometimes shifts from a young attractive woman (maiden) to a middle aged (mother) or elderly one (crone).
