When Equality 7-2521 is escaping from the Councils, he ran to the Uncharted Forest. In the book, page 75, it mentions Equality 7-2521 ending up in the Uncharted Forest like it was on accident. However, I recognized that Rand had a deeper meaning behind this. Equality 7-2521's boldness and courageousness lead him to the Uncharted where no one has been in because of the fear that no other brother has gone in. Thinking back at it, I feel like Equality 7-2521 had always known that if he goes into the Uncharted Forest, the forbidden place to go to, he would find everything about the Unmentionable times and the secret to everything the Councils were in fear of. Moving on, it seems like Equality 7-2521's life has improved in many different perspectives after he entered the Uncharted Forest. Liberty 5-3000, who he secretly admired from the moment they met, had followed him to the forest and they started a living together. They created names for each other, found a realistic house which led to discoveries of the lives of the Unmentionable times and finally the first-person singular. Equality 7-2521 named himself Prometheus, and named Liberty 5-3000 the Golden One.
Overall, although the society of anthem refused to enter the forest which symbolized nature, just as it refused to accept the knowledge of nature through the pursuit of science, Equality 7-2521 entered it, driven by a courageous and open mind. By starting a new life with the Golden one, Prometheus lived more naturally, learning to hunt with a bow and arrow. Thus, I saw the resemblance of these two main characters with Adam and Eve on the Garden of Eden in a way.
