"Pandora's Box" is a play written by Frank Wedekind in 1904. It is the second
part of his "Lulu" plays, which explore a society driven by lust and greed.
The play was later adapted into a silent film by G.W. Pabst in 1929 and served
as the basis for the opera "Lulu" by Alban Berg in 1935. Originally, the
"Lulu" drama was in five acts, but Wedekind divided it into two plays: "Earth
Spirit" and "Pandora's Box." The plot follows Lulu, who is released from
prison and embarks on a series of relationships and encounters. The play has
been interpreted in various ways, with some seeing it as misogynistic and
others as a precursor to women's liberation. The character of Lulu is complex,
and each man in her life sees what he wants to see. The play shifts its focus
to the character of Geschwitz, who is described as the tragic central figure
and an example of self-sacrifice and strength. Overall, "Pandora's Box" is a
thought-provoking exploration of desire and its consequences.
