The first man made of the earth. And Christ who is the second, Adam, made of the Spirit. We are to become both, made of earth, but live by the spirit.

How do we stand before God? What is our place in nature before God? So Adam is us. In the first chapter man is made, male and female they is made. God gives man a good world and they are very good. We in our time are very individualistic so we think of Adam and Eve as individuals (other to ourselves) rather than characters. The value of a story is that audience members can put themselves in the place of any of the characters. Unless we can identify with the characters, we get bored and the story fails. Interesting that you don't ask about Adam and Eve, it's like you want to know only how the male fits into religion. In the second chapter man is made but is not satisfied until Eve comes to him and he says at last: bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh. Now he belongs, he has a personal relationship with his environment. I think the deepest lesson is that no one stands alone. We want unity because we want order, a single answer or authority but we don't function alone, we connect as part of others, we get our identity from our relationships.
