Pandora's Box Human Flaw

Pandora’s Box is a Greek story about a girl named Pandora who let out the evil in the world. Zeus, the god of heaven, made a box containing all the worlds evil and sent it to the brother of Prometheus, the one who bought fire to humans. Pandora fell in love with the brother of Prometheus, but the told her under no circumstances to open the box, at the time the earth was perfect no evil, no hate. Pandora got so interested in the box she thought she would just have a sneak peek and put it back, so she did and released the bad in the world. This story tells people that humans have flaws and not everyone is perfect mostly the human race. In the drama, “Monsters are due on Maple Street”, the author gives a lot of clues that the human race has flaws. The most valid and unsafe flaw would be searching for a scapegoat, who is someone that you blame for everything bad happening. This is the most valid human flaw because it could result in destruction and chaos like it did on “Monsters are due on Maple Street”. …show more content…

Charlie. You shot him dead….How come you’re the only one with lights now?”Charlie killed Les, but he doesn’t want to be the scapegoat, the one everyone fears; Charlie reveals it isn’t him its Tommy and everyone gets confused. On page 854 everyone starts blaming each other. Scapegoats aren’t dangerous ;they are something or someone people blame for
