Summary "Debits and Credits" by Rudyard Kipling is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The book features a variety of tales that explore themes of human experience, morality, and societal norms, delving into the complexities of personal and communal relationships. At the start of the collection, the opening story titled "The Enemies to Each Other" sets a mythic tone, narrating the creation of Adam and Eve from various elements of the earth and the struggles they face. Through the perspectives of archangels and the interplay of divine command with earthly desires, the story depicts the tension between obedience and compassion, ultimately leading to the inevitable conflicts between men and women. The introduction of Eblis, the accursed figure who seeks to sow discord between Adam and Eve, further emphasizes the themes of temptation and the complexities of relationships that permeate the narrative.
