Dramaturgy 3a

In Genesis, Adam is created first then "Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name." This was God attempting to make a "Suitable Helper" for Adam. 

"...but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him. So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place.

The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man."

Though in the script Adam and Eve are created at the same time.

"For this reason and cause alone

I shall make man like unto me.
Rise up, you Earth, in blood and bone;
In the shape of man, I bid you be.

From your left rib, I make a mate
For you, and her to you I send,
So that alone you may not wait
Without a sister and a friend."
