“Usually we are blaming the woman, that she is responsible for this great sin. I wanted to express that without Adam, she could not even get to do it, and my idea is based on the Midrash and on Adam’s words: ‘The woman whom thou didst give to me.’ He is blaming G-d, not only Eve: ‘thou didst give!’”
