Which statement best reflects the theme of all three creation stories--adam and eve, prometheus and pandora, and frankenstein? a. knowledge is power and must be shared with humanity. b. progress should be sought only in manners that are acceptable to society. c. morality stifles scientific discovery and progress. d. good always wins over wickedness.

B. Progress should be sought only in manners that are acceptable to society.

All of these creation stories have as their main character an individual who wants to achieve progress and knowledge by going against the rules that have been established in their society.

In the case of Adam and Eve, Eve's trangression is eating the forbidden fruit in the garden of Eden. Because of this, many of humanity's problems are born. In the myth of Prometheus and Pandora, both characters break the rules that had been imposed on them: Prometheus steals the fire from Zeus and Pandora opens the box that should not have been opened. Finally, in Frankenstein, it is Victor who breaks the rules. The rules he breaks are those of nature and science, as he attempts to create a living being. We realize the experiment was a bad idea when we see the suffering the creature feels and the destruction that it causes.

Therefore, all three stories support the idea of only seeking progress in a way that conforms to society's rules.
