The main theme of Pandora and Orphan boy, Curiosity







The main theme of Pandora, a Greek myth, and Orphan Boy, an African myth, is curiosity. These myths warn humans that curiosity can sometimes be really dangerous. In Pandora, she was curious to know what was in the box, but she wasn’t allowed to open but she did, and there were all kinds of evil things (and hope) that came out from the box. People then suffered but had hope. This prove that curiosity was dangerous to people. Also in Orphan Boy, the old man really wanted to know how the orphan boy did all the work using his magic so he spied on the orphan boy, even though he told him not to. The orphan boy saw him and the trust between them broke. After this, the curiosity destroyed their relationship and the trust, and the old man was punished. He lost everything. This proves that curiosity was dangerous. However, in real life it isn't that bad it leads us to creative ideas.
