Question

give the script for the story of Pandora's box

Answer 1

Narrator​: Our story comes from the time of the ancient Greeks when Zeus was king of the gods. It starts with ​Prometheus and his brother Epimetheus, who were both gods. ​Epimetheus​: Good day, dear brother Prometheus. ​Prometheus​: Good day, dear brother, Epimetheus. Prometheus walks around holding his head, clearly troubled. ​Epimetheus​: You are clearly troubled dear brother, what is the matter. ​Prometheus​: I have been observing the humans and I feel so sorry for them; they have to suffer in this ​coldness. What can I do to help them? ​(Pause)​ I know what! ​Epimetheus​: I know what you are thinking, and it’s not a good idea. ​Prometheus​: Let me give them fire! They will be able to cook warm food and warm their bodies. ​Epimetheus​: Zeus has forbidden us to give the humans fire, Prometheus. The humans will not be able to ​control themselves and they will use fire to destroy. ​Narrator​: But Prometheus ignored the advice of his brother and he went secretly and stole fire from the gods ​to give it to the humans. Of course, Zeus came to know what Prometheus did. ​Zeus​: Hephaestus!! (Enter Hephaestus) Go call Prometheus right now!​ (Exit Zeus) ​Hephaestus​: Yes, my Lord, immediately. ​(Hephaestus bows) ​Hephaestus runs around calling for Prometheus. Enter Prometheus. ​Hephaestus​: Prometheus, come quickly, Zeus has sent for you and he is very angry. I have never seen him so ​angry before. ​Prometheus​: What did I do now? ​Hephaestus​: I am a bit curious about this myself.​ (Enter Zeus) ​Zeus​: Hephaestus you may leave. ​(Hephaestus bows and leaves.) ​Hephaestus​: Thank you, my Lord ​Zeus​: Prometheus, don’t you know that fire is only for the gods. Why did you dare give it to the humans, they ​can use it as a weapon. ​Prometheus​: I only wanted to help them – they were feeling so cold.
Zeus​: Look what they are doing, Prometheus. They are dying, but not from cold. Fire has become a weapon for ​them. Do you realize your mistake? ​Prometheus​: Yes, I am sorry. ​Zeus​: You are just sorry; you need to be more than that. You and the humans will be punished. Go and call ​Hephaestus. ​Exit Prometheus. Enter Hephaestus. ​Zeus​: Hephaestus, I have called you here because I have an important job for you. ​Hephaestus​: Yes, my Lord ​(Hephaestus bows) ​Zeus​: Hephaestus, since you are the God of Craftsmanship, I want you to create a woman using clay. ​Hephaestus​: A woman, my Lord? ​Zeus​: Yes, a woman. ​Hephaestus​: As you wish, my Lord. ​ (​Exit Zeus)​ ​Hephaestus​: Aphrodite! Help!​ (Aphrodite comes in running.) ​Aphrodite​: What is it, my dear? Are you hurt? ​Hephaestus​: Zeus wants me to make a woman, I have never made a woman before, what am I to do? ​Aphrodite​: Calm yourself, dear husband. I know you can do it. ​Hephaestus​: Oh Aphrodite, my wife, you are the most beautiful goddess of all. ​Aphrodite​: Thank you, husband. I’m not the goddess of love and beauty for nothing. ​Hephaestus​: ​(Clicking his fingers)​ I have it;​ ​I will use you as my model! ​Narrator​: Hephaestus made the woman from clay, Zeus breathed life into her and she was named Pandora. ​The gods gave Pandora many gifts including beauty, charm, eloquence, skill and curiosity. ​Enter Pandora and Zeus ​Zeus​: Pandora, my lovely daughter. I am sending you to marry Epimetheus, the brother of Prometheus. Take ​this beautiful box as a gift but you are never to open the box. Do you hear me? ​Pandora​: Yes Father, I am never to open the box. Thank you, Father. ​Zeus​: I trust you to obey me but in order to protect you from temptation, I will give the key to your husband. ​Pandora​: Yes, Father.​ (Pandora curtsies and exits) ​Enter Epimetheus.
