Curiosity, a main theme from an African and Greek myth, Orphan Boy and Pandora, demonstrating that the result of people’s curiosity often cause changes, sometimes good and bad. In orphan Boy, the old man’s curiosity took control of him and it affect his decision to follow and look when the orphan boy did his magic. As a result of this he lose the orphan boy, his only friend and family. This leads to a change to the world, it receive punishment and the old man was lonely again. Pandora’s curiosity to open the box from Zeus, who seeks vengeance on human and Prometheus by using Pandora, unleash evil on earth. This antecedent changes humanity, now poverty, illness and famine spreads on earth. Although one good thing came out, Hope, humans only salvation. Both of these myths shows bad changes, which made me think "did people back then was warning us the danger curiosity can holds?". It's true that we can't see the results of our action and path that we chose, nor our future.
1st picture-
artist: ?
I chose this picture because of the foreshadowing details. For example the box has green fouling inside it, which is the evil that is kept inside.
3rd picture-
artist- Cyril-Helnwein
I chose this picture because it represents Pandora's curiousity. In the picture, she is bending over and was beginning to open the box. I like how the artist chose the color and the lighting. Although evil was supposed to come out of the box, this was the last one that came out, hope.
