Eve And Pandora

Mary Orr’s “The Wisdom of Eve” is a short, but very unpredictable story about a new life for Eve Harrington and about the individual she is perceived to be by her appearance however, the true identity of Eve that is hidden within is projected throughout the story. The narrator of this story opens up with “I shall call her Eve Harrington because this is not her name, though the Eve part of the alias is not unapt, considering the original’s snaky activities in a once-peaceful garden” (Orr 284). Eve Harrington made her way to stardom but in a very unusual way. Eve Harrington’s “idol” Margola Cranston and Cranston’s closes friend who narrates the story are of the few people who fell for Eve’s manipulative ways. Eve is describe an awkward and unappealing

The story of Adam and Eve in Genesis, and Prometheus in Theogony have many similarities. In particular, the role of the serpent and role of Prometheus complement each other. The serpent and Prometheus are both portrayed as sly-talking tricksters that reveal immortal knowledge to the humans of earth, and they are both punished for their actions.

The very creation of women was set as a punishment to man because Prometheus, son of Iapetos, tried to trick Zeus into eating bones and then, with the tube of a fennel, steals fire to give to mankind. Zeus then proclaimed, "To set against the fire I shall give them an affliction in which they will all delight as they embrace their own misfortune." Out of Zeus' anger came Pandora, the first woman. Zeus ordered Hephaestus

In Works and Days, Pandora was given the gift of weaving from Athena, the gift of attractiveness from Aphrodite, and the gift of deceitfulness from Hermes. Yet, in the other story Aphrodite is not mentioned and neither is the gift of attractiveness.

The main characters of this story are Zeus, Pandora, and Epimetheus. Zeus, the king of the gods, rules over the whole earth. Pandora is beautiful, but foolish. Epimetheus is Pandora’s husband.

Prometheus is given a (possibly) eternal torment, to be chained to a column and have his liver torn out daily. His brother Epimetheus is given what we may infer is punishment of comparable magnitude: the first woman. In the Works and Days, we learn she is called Pandora, "The Gift of All." This gift comes with many alluring qualities: she looks "like a goddess immortal, having the lovely shape of a virgin," she is taught by Athena weaving, and Aphrodite has"shed on her charm, …mak[ing] her an object of painful love and exhausting desire" (Theogony, 62-66). She is dressed by Athena in a "silver-white gown (575) and adorned by the Graces and "our Lady Persuasion" with golden necklaces, and crowned by Horai with flowers, as well as an intricately crafted golden crown, which, while a "marvel to look at," depicts "terrible monsters." And if these charms aren’t enough to lure a man into the clutches of woman, men who do not marry and have progeny are doomed to "baneful old age with no one to care for his needs,"(604-5) and his collateral heirs will divide his goods.

Hesiod’s Works and Days states “And he called this woman Pandora, because all they who dwelt on Olympus gave each a gift, a plague to men who eat bread.” Zeus in cooperation with the other gods created Pandora to punish man after Prometheus gave them fire. Pandora playing the role the gods created her for Pandora opens a jar full of all manners evil unleashing them upon the world, leaving only hope in the jar. In this way woman is construed as the bringer of all evil. This is driven more to the point when Hesiod says “Do not let a flaunting woman coax and cozen and deceive you: she is after your barn. The man who trusts womankind trust deceivers.” He is basically stating that women are only after your fortune and should not be trusted because they are

He selflessly teaches her how to sing, but tries to make her love him back, not knowing that love can’t be forced. This selflessness quickly changes into possession when he finds out that Christine loves someone else: Raoul. Erik is jealous of Raoul; his life has everything that Erik ever wanted, from the love of his family to Christine’s affection. He has never opened his heart up to anyone before, with Christine being his very first. Unrequited love breaks his heart. Unable to accept that Christine loves Raoul, he tries to keep Christine to himself by kidnapping her and forcing her to marry him. Christine’s respect for Erik turns into horror, as this is not the right way to love someone. But who taught Erik that? The “Angel of Music” is no longer an angel, but a devil. An interesting note is that “Angel of Music” is another name for Lucifer. As the plot progresses, Erik’s jealousy and hatred worsens. (An interesting note is that. Despite this, his distorted love for Christine is sincere, as he does not try to put her down in any

In Greek mythology, there are many things that compare to being in modern day society. Myths affect the people and all of mankind as a whole. One particular story shapes how evil came about in the world. The story of Pandora’s box tells the tale of how afflictions were spread across the world.

Furthermore, Dr. John L Flynn may believe the Phantom acts may have been to protect his world and for his true love and to protect his world. However, many scholars may belive that he committed such acts for his own personal gain due to the fact that he was obsessed with Christine not in love with her because she was the first person to show him compassion, love, and friendship. Shown through various chapters ,Christine matures into a young beautiful sexual female, Erick begins to desire her and fantasize over her ;filling his underground lair with sketches of her, different scenes of her signing in the opera house, and a wax figure of her in a wedding dress. Therefore, these different scences throughout the book may support the claim that Erick does not really love Christine but is obsessed with her out of the fear of being lonely and isolated from the world one more. Can Erick having never having been love or been in love can really reciprocate such feelings?

To begin, Lilith is an enigma in many circles, with varying tales and legends ascribed to her. In certain aspects of Jewish
