A few days ago, I was on Pro's blog, and it was interesting to see their, as well as other's take, on Lilith because they are going for what Hazbin Hotel is depicting of Lilith which is that she was the world's first feminist and wouldn't lay on her back for Adam. Which is also the more modern variation of Lilith. However, I also went through some of the works of Libby, and she paints a different story she as well as others like me see a completely contrasting look in Lilith's story. In the traditional text of what could be found on Lilith it was depicted that she was not the world's first feminist but in actuality the world's first misandrist. It's actually kind of interesting if we ignore the show's Lilith altogether and just focus on the Lilith in the texts. In the traditional Mesopotamian/Jewish texts, it was stated that she was simply created this way as evil, however, that doesn't make sense to me either since you can't just be evil if you were made by God himself...then again there is the biblical Lucifer hmmm. I actually have this theory on Lilith, the actual Lilith, not the show Lilith. I think that maybe it's a kind of a mix between the two theories, Lilith saw that Adam was more beloved by the angels and by God, and that made her frustrated and feel inadequate about herself than the angel Samael, who is her actual husband, came to her and offered her more and she took it but for the price, she ended up hurting Adam who wasn't some horrible monster he just couldn't understand what his first wife was feeling/going through. Anyway, she was soon banished from the garden by God and I'm not quite sure how she got to Hell from there but maybe she was banished to Hell alongside her husband. I actually have this script I'm working on about her story because I think it would be interesting to have this discussion on this take on Lilith. I'm not trying to start any fights or wars, and I really hope I don't see any mean comments about either theory I just thought it's kind of funny and interesting, anyway hope this wasn't too much of a droll to read.
