My own interpretation is very simple. The main characters of Genesis Chapter 3 are first people in the world– Adam, Eve and God. The action takes place in the heaven, in the fruit garden. God was like Father for Eve and Adam. He cared about them and tried to protect them. God said that Adam and Eva could eat fruit from all trees in that garden besides one. But they ate that forbidden fruit and, as a result, they were sent onto Earth. The most important characters are people who are absolutely innocent and the serpent who is the root of all evil. He tempted Eve to eat that forbidden apple from the tree and become sinful. Should we blame only people for their interest in forbidden things? God is unique, he is an ideal creature that is innocent and right. It has been known for ages that forbidden things make a huge interest for people, they attract us with the help of some unbelievable power and people can’t resist this temptation and do sins. There is no way back to the heaven because we are so sinful and still every of us do sins everyday, because not only our actions are sinful, but sometimes thoughts and wishes as well. Adam and Eve were like little children who are always interested in everything around them and naughty because children don’t like rules and never follow them until their parents punish them. The Fall began with the words when God said that Eve and Adam were absolutely free in the heaven but they couldnt eat apples from one tree. This was the beginning for the temptation. They were only thoughts, and the Satan helped to commit this sin. Adam and Eve is the example of pure love. They were ideal before they were sent onto Earth. God just proved that people are weak, they can't resist temptation, their interest and satisfaction are more important than harmony and peace. Eve was very naive and life stability became a second important thing for her. And that sin spread to other generations.
There is no way back to the heaven because we are so sinful and still every of us commit sins everyday because not only our actions are sinful, but sometimes thoughts and wishes as well.
The whole situation seems pretty hopeless. I see nothing but a dead-end here...Do you really believe that all people are sinful, their actions are sinful, their thoughts are sinful and there is no way to get rid of this sin? Then, what do we live for? Is the whole humanity doomed to live in sin? Sounds strange...

the serpent who is the root of all evil. He influenced Eve to eat that forbidden apple
Quotation from the Bible: “And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil”. So, did the serpent really influence? He gave Eve the truth, the idea, and it was Eve's right to decide – to obey God's law or to violate it.
You are wrong. The Serpent lied when it said that eating the fruit would make Eve as wise as God. By eating the fruit, they lost wisdom that they possessed, since they had been created in the image and to the likeness of God. The wisdom was about not knowing the evil.
