Question

which character archetype best suits this image of Pandora? A.) Lady Warrior B.) Ingénue C.) Villain D.) Hero

Answer 1

B.) Ingénue.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "Ingénue" means a character either in films or literatures where the person is generally a young person, innocent and naive. This quality is more usually associated with young women who were characterized as the same as "being completely too innocent".

Pandora fits this type of character for she was also made to be the 'gift' to Prometheus. Prometheus had stolen the gift of fire from Zeus and so, as a form of punishment, Pandora was created by Hephaestus to be given to Prometheus as a wife. Being made the first women with beautiful features, Prometheus was happy to get this gift. What he did not know was the box that Pandora brought with her, a jar that was to be opened only after she came to earth. So, with this opening of the jar, all forms of evil was released, thus afflicting humankind ever since. What Pandora did not know was that she was just a "tool" for Zeus to exact his revenge on Prometheus. Thus, we can say that she is an ingenue character. The picture shows the moment she opened the box and release whatever demons that were in it.
