To determine which cultural trait is addressed in both "The Youngest Doll" and the myth of "Pandora," we need to analyze the themes and messages presented in both the story and the myth.
First, let's look at "The Youngest Doll" by Rosario Ferre. This story explores the cultural theme of the importance of motherhood. The protagonist is a young girl who is forced to wear a doll-like device that symbolizes her future role as a mother. The story delves into societal expectations and the pressure placed on women to become mothers.
Next, let's consider the myth of "Pandora" from Greek mythology. In this myth, Pandora is the first woman created by the gods. She is given a box (or jar) that she is explicitly told not to open, but curiosity gets the better of her, and she unleashes all the evils into the world. This myth touches on the role of gender in societal structures, particularly in terms of the power dynamics between men and women.
Comparing the two, we can see that both "The Youngest Doll" and the myth of "Pandora" address the cultural trait of the importance of motherhood. In the story, it is explored through societal expectations and pressures. In the myth, it is indirectly touched upon as Pandora is the first woman, representing the creation of all humankind.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
The importance of motherhood
