Although not always depicted as fully 'naked man' stories in all interpretations, they were originally naked in the Garden of Eden, and their state of nakedness before the fall represents their innocence and purity. Their subsequent awareness of their nakedness after eating the forbidden fruit symbolizes the loss of that innocence and the entrance into a more complex, self - aware state.
