I like that the "Hasidic eyes" places a more dignified role for the woman than that of the plain reading of the text. One of Eve as a rational woman explaining to Adam what she believes G-d wants for the both of them to do and being correct.
However, it has never made sense to me why G-d did not name the woman as He did for the man. Why is that role given to Adam? G-d interacts and converses with Adam, yet the first time He speaks to the woman is by shouting a question at her. There is an exclamation point, the first actually to appear in Genesis, (Stone Edition) where He demands, "What is this you have done!" מה-זֹאת עָשִׂית
