6. Metaphysical Function (Man vs. God(s)
Prometheus sees men dying from starvation, being hunted by beasts, and shivering in the cold because they had no fire.
He soon gives fire to the men and teaches them how to survive.
Lesson: This teaches the lesson that the gods may care about men even if they are the most miserable of all living creatures that time.

7. Metaphysical (cont.)
When Pandora opened the box or jar. Creatures of different kinds flew out to every house and nestled down on men, women, children and put an end to all their joy.
Lesson: This teaches a lesson that supernatural beings can cause men and women and children to go through much pain. It can also tell you that they are scary and only want to cause pain.

8. Cosmological Function (Man vs. Nature)
As Prometheus traveled through the world of mankind, he happened to pick up a reed along the way. When he broke it off he witnessed that the center contained a dry, soft pith that would keep on a long time. Prometheus decided he would use the reed to bring fire from the sun to mankind.
Lesson: This teaches a lesson about a person’s strong will and determination. When a person has made up his mind, even the impossible things can be done.

9. Cosmological (cont.)
Not too long after Prometheus brought fire to mankind, humans began learning how to cook, hunt, and eat like men. Instead of living in their caves and dark places, they came out in the open air and the sunlight, and they were glad that life had been given to them.
Lesson: This teaches a lesson that humans are intelligent beings. With a little bit of help and resources, they can learn to learn to live a civilized life.

10. Sociological (Man vs. Man)
Prometheus is upset with the fact that Zeus believes that mankind could possibly become wise and strong if given the gift of fire.
Maddened by Prometheus’s actions upon showing people how to live and the warmth of fire, Zeus sets out his anger by distressing mankind.
Lesson: What is learned is that in times of sorrow, there are those who will stand up for what is right and those who will feel the affects of the outcome.
When there is good, there will be evil and with out struggle, there will be no progress.

11. Psychological (Man vs. Self)
Prometheus felt bad that man didn’t have fire.
He did it from his own will knowing he’s disobeying Zeus by giving fire to men.
He later was punished by Zeus.
Lesson: Sharing is caring
Even though caring is a good thing, there are consequences for being the nice guy.

12. Psychological (cont.)
After receiving the box from Zeus, Athena warned her never to open it.
She felt that Athena was just jealous and that there was probably jewels in the box.
Instead she let out diseases, illness, and creatures that put an end to men’s hope.
Pandora was also being selfish, because she was thinking about herself and the jewels.
Greed is one of the deadly sins and she was filled with it.
Lesson: This lesson teaches things should be left untouched; curiosity can kill.

13. Allusion of Pandora
Pandora's Box by Esmeralda Kent Always scolded as small children, those who ask too many questions never learn to take direction, "How'd that rabbit get inside that hat?" All the anger that's been hidden Deep in secret hiding places, throwing masks across our faces, "Did curiosity really kill the cat?" Twas a time when passion was the key Which opened up the pain in me, Destroying all the locks. Unleashing demons spawned in fear, Reflecting shadows in the mirror of Pandora's Box. Open it up, all that is concealed, Open it up, so the truth can be revealed, You must break all your locks. Open it up, take a look inside, Open it up, have you anything to hide Inside Pandora's Box?
