Eve as both Domna and Everyday Woman

I’m interested primarily at looking at the performance of Eve as a reversal of the domna figure. Eve is the character closest to the domna; but in the Ordo Repraesentationis Adae, Eve is actually represented and speaks herself, instead of being depicted by a troubadour lover. However, she is not presented as a figure of power, but rather in the typical biblical position of feminine subservience to the two figures of male dominance, God and then Adam. There is no initial resistance to their authority and there is a marked performance to her bold statements of submissiveness.
“Sire, I will do according to your pleasure;
I do not wish to stray from it.
I will acknowledge you as sovereign,
Him as my partner and stronger than I.
I will always be faithful to him”
This is a fairly marked role reversal from the troubadour lyrics, where Bernant De Ventadour says things like “I love her and cherish her so much, fear her and attend to her so much, I have never dared to speak to her of myself, and I ask her for nothing”. In the troubadour lyric, it is very much a performance of what the lover can give their lady, and putting themselves in a position of supplication. Eve is now the figure who attempts to “please” by acquiescing to God and Adam’s every wish. It is also interesting to view the performance in the view of it’s medieval setting. In A Common Stage it explains how these plays were performed in a time before “the traditional narrative of theater’s history” during “a period when theater was open to all, before the construct of playhouses restricted access to paying audiences and required plays to meet the humanists’ classical canon.” It is interesting then, that at the beginning of the play the story stays faithful to the biblical story, only descending into a more vernacular type of dialogue when the devil appears. So, at least initially, it seems that it is “meet[ing] the humanist’s classical canon”. Perhaps Eve is depicted in this way because, unlike the troubadour’s, this play is about the every-woman, not a particular domna or highborn lady. The average woman would need to subservient, and as the play has a “moralizing” function the performance of Eve must reflect this. This is even more marked when the language of the play descends from stilted elevated language to the vernacular colloquialism when Eve takes a bite from the apple and exclaims, “I’ve tasted it. My God, what flavor! I’ve never savored such sweetness. What a taste this apple has!”. Herein lies the comedy of performance in the transition from the elevated to the vernacular type of speech. Eve even blasphemes with the turn-of-phrase “My God!” bringing the story into the every-day sphere. Eve has a marked transformation from an elevated domna-figure to a recognizable average woman who naturally will err and sin.
