At the end, Ben stand firm with his decisions against the tree, therefore representing him in a positive light, which audiences are able to recognise.
How is the Tree of Temptation represented?
The tree of temptation is shown as having a crude and dominant persona, with its humorous speech. It attempts to persuade Ben the contestant to perform a task, by degrading him, linking to biblical references as well.
