In “The Diary of Adam”, Mark Twain portrays Adam as a character of intolerance who solely wants to live in a place of peace and solitude. Adam states that he wants Eve to just “stay with the other animals” and “wish[es] it would not talk” because the sound of her voice “offends my ear”. Later in the week, on Wednesday, it rains and Adam proceeds to build himself “a shelter against the rain, but could not have it to [him]self in peace. The new creature intruded”. No matter how hard Adam tries, he cannot escape the presence of Eve, he even “travelled two days, and built … another shelter, in a secluded place” but yet she still “hunted [him] out”. Eve’s continued presence frustrates Adam to the point that he only wants her to “go by herself and not talk”.
