| Exposition | Hephaestus was ordered by Zeus to make a daughter for him. The clay woman was named Pandora. |
| Rising Action 1 | Pandora was sent down to earth by her father, Zeus, to marry a lonely and gentle man named Epimetheus. Zeus was angry at Prometheus because he gifted people with fire without getting Zeus' permission. |
| Rising Action 2 | Zeus got even by tricking Epimetheus into offering people something else they might or might not want. |
| Rising Action 3 | Pandora received a little box with a big heavy lock from Zeus. The key was given to Pandora's husband, Epimethues, and both of them were made to promise never to open it. |
| Rising Action 4 | Pandora was suspicious about the contents of the box. Epimetheus said they should not open it because her father was tricky. While Epimetheus was asleep, Pandora took the key and opened the box. |
| Climax | After the box was open, hate, envy and every kind of disease and sickness flew out. |
| Falling Action 1 | Pandora smashed the lid shut but it was too late. Bad things that people had never encountered traveled out into the world. |
| Falling Action 2 | Pandora loudly burst into tears and her crying woke Epimetheus. She told him she opened the box and bad things flew out. When she showed him the empty box a teeny, tiny bug flew out. |
| Resolution | The just out of reach bug said, "I am named Hope." After nodding thanks for freedom, Hope flew out into the world that now was full of envy, hate, crime and disease, and now hope. |
