That’s certainly one way you could interpret it. Though it’s not like Adam comes off any better in the story - as soon as God asks him if he ate the apple, he sells out his wife. He comes off as quite pathetic.
The moral of the story is, ultimately, that life isn’t a walled garden where you can fritter your days away naked without a care in the world. Life is dangerous and complicated in ways you can’t begin to comprehend, and it will get you if you don’t keep your eyes open and pay attention.
There’s a cost to paying attention too, of course; you’re no longer ensconced in blissful ignorance, you can’t pretend the world is harmless and there exclusively for your personal pleasure, you have to get up in the morning and go to work.
It sucks. And yet, it’s life.
