Midrash is awkward, I don't really always understand it, but the way I think of all Jewish history is as a conversation, thus in Bereshit Rabbah 22 you can literally read different ancient rabbis arguing across the decades at each other over the fate of "the first Eve." It's very difficult because it's both commentary and folklore and accepted belief, but you have to know what's being discussed in the first place.

But I sing the praises of Lilith in whatever medium she might appear, so I would be more than happy nominating something that explores the dynamic between her and Adam alone without bringing in Eve (or even touching on the Nameless Bride, Adam's second wife) because Lilith is amazing full stop, and I'm happy either way!

Ugh. Sorry I kind of turned this whole thread into like Dreamwidth yeshiva.
