In the story of Adam and Eve, woman is created merely from the rib of Adam. In the book of Genesis, it says, “So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon man, and he slept; then he took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. Then the man said, ‘This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one shall be called Woman, for out of Man this one was taken.’”(Genesis, 2:21). Since man was created in the image of God, Eve should not be held completely accountable as the root of all evil. We can derive from this story

Pandora, the quintessential woman, epitomizes everything beautiful and mysterious for man to possess. Created from the best features from each of the gods, she is also the backlash and revenge to befall man due to the fire that was stolen. The box or jar rather, is supposedly filled with manipulation and corruption. As some strange quirk of fate, hope was thrown into the box, which does not escape. Is ‘hope’ an element within evil? I believe it is conceivable that true evil is flawed with the concept that hope can always cause its demise. Perhaps it was placed in the box simply to make the audience examine where hope lies within themselves. It is also possible that hope was misplaced by the miraculous and marvelous gods.

beginning, I doubt we would have all the problems we do today. Children are born from the womb of this evil creature we know as woman. I suppose that the gender of the child determines its worth as a human. Despite the fact that a male from its mother is its mother’s son, it does not carry over its mother’s mischief. Time has unfortunately not changed the role of women in society. Even though women are more independent now than they were, men continue to dominate every situation. Women continue to fall at the feet of man and let themselves be walked upon. However, women have learned to shake the tales that haunt them and strengthen their character. This should not go unrecognized any longer. Personally, I feel both stories are exaggerated and misconstrued. As fiction they serve as functional building blocks from which all women should learn and grow. It is a shame we cannot travel back in time and witness these accounts for ourselves and derive our own ideas from them. If we could, I doubt these fables would hold up to the fantastical and amazing stories with which we see them as today.
