The Drama in the 2 Gardens [Eden & Gethsemane]

1] In Eden Eve was so slyly tempted that she and Adam fell into
disobedience.
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.  
Genesis 3:6
In Gethsemane Christ was so tempted that under the weight of the world blood fell as sweat. 
And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.  
Luke 22:44
 
2] In the one Garden the pinnacle of the drama was the conversing with Lucifer via the serpent.
And the woman said unto the serpent,...
Genesis 3:2 
In the other Garden the pinnacle of the drama was conversing with God in Prayer.
And He was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
Luke 22:41,42 
 
3] In Eden God removed our first parents from the Garden.So He drove out the man; Genesis 3:24
In Gethsemane their descendants removed the Son of God from the Garden. 
Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? Then took they Him, and led Him, and brought Him into the high priest's house. 
Luke 22:52-52
