EVE AND THE OTHER

Western Religion also influenced the negative perception of

women as evidenced in the Judeo-Christian story of Eve
being the first woman, and it’s many mythic variations.
The same story template is presented in the story of Pandora.
In the Greek myth, Pandora was the first woman created by
Zeus as a form f petty revenge on mankind because they ad
received the gift of fire from Prometheus.
In both stories, women were perceived as the cause of yhe
downfall of mankind because of their weakness.

Women were viewed of lesser value than men, or were

deemed the root of all sufferings. In the most extreme
sense, women had the potential to cause the downfall of
great man.
As shown by the story Eve and Pandora, woman was casted
as the bearer of suffering because she was weak-willed and
could not be trusted; she could not be allowed to be left alone
lest she cause some trouble.
