“I see I should be lonesome and depressed without her, now that I have lost my property.” (Paragraph 25)

It is the moment that the Garden begins to wither and decay because Eve ate the apple, contributing to the theme of Death.
Once the apples are eaten, Adam begins to view Eve more as a companion and an equal, thus contributing to the theme of Men and Women (and the relationship between them).
