keep the lid on it, Pandora
what was the raising action and falling action
in the story
In the story of Pandora, the raising action refers to the events that build tension and lead to the climax. This includes the creation of Pandora by the gods, her receiving the jar (often mistakenly referred to as a box), and being warned to never open it.
The falling action, on the other hand, occurs after the climax and leads to the resolution. In the case of Pandora, the falling action consists of her succumbing to curiosity and opening the jar, which releases all the evils into the world. After this, she quickly closes the jar, trapping only Hope inside. The story concludes with the consequences of her actions and the resulting state of the world.
