Freewill in Hazbin

okay, real question here. Does anyone understand the concept of freewill in Hazbin Hotel???

Okay, I think it's safe to assume that Adam and Lilith have freewill considering Lilith could reject Adam, which is a choice she made herself. But then Eve doesn't have the ability to choose???

And why was the way for Eve to get freewill through Lucifer was through eating the forbidden fruit of knowledge of good and evil, which is an odd way because it implies that freewill in Eve case is that she doesn't have the knowledge she can choice then that would implied Lucifer didn't gave her freewill, she had it all-along he only gave her the awareness that she can choose.

Biblically, Adam and Eve were given freewill by God Himself as love cannot be forced it have to be a choice (which they chose to disobey...). Though in Hazbin Hotel the angels seems to be the one who made the humans and earth, which is honestly a whole can of worm, but okay sure we'll work with that, so we're just gonna assume the angels is just kind of given authority to create based of God's design (one of them being freewill). Adam and Lilith right out of the bat had freewill but then after Lilith rejection Eve was created without freewill or maybe without the awareness of choice so then Lucifer comes in and see that is wrong because again being able to choose is very important. But then use the fruit of knowledge of good and evil which is already identified to be a sin if they ever choose it, Lucifer may claim that he only wanted humanity to continue doing good with that freewill (which is biblically true, the wanting of humanity to use freewill for good).

However, maybe part of him did it to get praise or even worship because maybe he's so tired of being seen as the one who's imposing heaven's will, which can play more accurately with his role being the king/sin of pride I guess? Which, uh, if Eve just lack the awareness of choice Lucifer's action might come as him playing as god and doing it in a wrong way (that literally introduced evil) which I think could be counted as blasphemy 😰

So, I guess with this theory does make the reason Lucifer fall make more sense because, it came from pride (or wanting pride), even if he was hurt from all of the shamed he got from edging close to going against heaven's will 😭💔, so I guess it's kind of like a yes he was being/trying to act against heaven so yes he's kind of wrong but he doesn't change and continue to do things that eventually lead up to the apple as a last resort to trying to get praised or something to feel proud of?? Which I supposed is a complicated pride

But you know, even if this makes him more wrong/bad, it at least could make things more sad, like how Lucifer in the show barely shows a lot of pride but shown to be more shameful and regretful which kind of create a

"what's the point of feeling proud of myself again when the last time, when I was sure something great would happen, I've ended up cursing humanity, giving them the illusion of autonomy while actually making them more bound to sin."

"claiming it for good of when the fruit I've given resulted in death."

being told what he does is dangerous over and over again, but never listened to their warnings, but in the end they're correct.

Instead of freedom being granted, it's stolen by sin, binding humanity into sin.

It wasn't freedom Lucifer gave, he gave them chains while telling them it was wings.

But anyway these are just thoughts, I know Hazbin isn't meant be accurate but shushhh.
