As the story goes, Pandora was given a box (or jar, depending on the story) with all the scourges of the world contained inside, and told not to open it. Though, eventually, curiosity got the better of her and she opened the lid. All the ills of the world flew out before she could close it again, but not everything escaped. Hope remained trapped inside, until later when she opened the lid and let it go.
Why was Hope in the jar with all the evils of the world?
Was Hope considered to be one of the evils?
