She Unnames Them-Worldview

God and The Universe:

When Eve goes to have a conversation with Adam and his father we can know that Adam is a child of God; seeing as God was the one who created Adam. God is Adams father. EX. "I resolutely put anxiety away, went to Adam, and said, 'You and your father lent me this'."

Humanity and Identity:

It is interesting to read this becuase all of us were given names at birth, and have thought nothing of it. For instance most of us would never change our name just becuase. Eve comes to realization that everyone and everything has been given a name; some like it and some don't. We are identified by our names. Most of the time we don't even think twice when we call someone by their right name. It's different when they are called by their wrong name. EX. "All agreed enthusiastically to give their names back to the people to whom-as they put it-they belonged."

Conflict and Suffering:

This piece didn't have much suffering. On the other hand, They were conflict within Eve. She was not happy with how the nameing of animals had gone about. She learned it would be much harder to go about unnameing already the named. EX. "In fact I had only just then realized how hard it would have been to explainmyself."

Hope and Redemption:

In this case the ultimate problem was Eve unlike for names. Some followed along with how Eve felt and they too liked namelessness. EX. "Most of them accepted namelessness with the perfect indifference with which they had so long accepted and ignored their names."

Values and Relationships:

Eve felt that when those that which were named became unnamed she still felt close to them. She had a connection with them. EX. "None were left now to unname, and yet how close I felt to them."

Truth and Knowledge:

Her words now have become her truths. She must now be so careful as to watch the words she speaks so that she in turn does not go against what her goal is; the unnaming of all. EX. "My words now must be slow, as new, as single, as tentative as the steps I took going down the path away from the house, between the dark-branched, tall dancers motionless against the winter shinning."

Honestly I can't put a worldview to this. Although they talk about Adam and Eve and we assume from the use of father in the text that God is spoken about. Christianity could be put to this text, but I don't think it gives the perfect reflection of the pieces worldview.
