Pandora and Orphan Boy Summary. Curiosity.
Curiosity is the main theme in Pandora, a Greek myth and in Orphan Boy, an African myth, demonstrating that curiosity can occasionally change the world in a negative way. For example in Pandora, she was eager to open the box, but she didn’t know that her curiosity would bring such distress to mankind, or did she know the box carried evil curiosity along with it. As well in Orphan Boy, curiosity changed things from good, to bad, for example all his healthy cows, died in the end, because the boy took the happiness away from him. Curiosity the old man had, changed his relationship with the orphan boy, because the boy lost trust in the old man. As you can see, curiosity can sometimes equal negative. Curiosity killed the cat.
Why I chose the Picture: I chose that picture because; it links to both Orphan boy, and Pandora. It links to Orphan Boy, because he’s sitting there sad, and alone, with no companion because, his companion left him because he was too curious. And it perfectly links to Pandora, because in that story curiosity of opening the box, caused all these strange creatures to crawl out, and distress the humans, and the creatures that crawled out where all the horrible emotions, that would make humans sad, and unhappy. And in the picture the man is, and it shows that the box might of caused this emotion to appear.
