1. How is being a man (not an animal) and having knowledge like being tortured every day?

(How are all humans beings like Prometheus?)

2. How does the story connect to the saying, "Ignorance is bliss"?

Humans are like Prometheus b/c they have endurance and knowledge.

It can be like torture everyday knowing that you are going to die.

Men are aware that they will die. They do not know when they will die,

but they do know that they will in fact die sometime in the future despite their work.

People are like Prometheus because they are always tortured.

Humans with knowledge know that they'll die and can deal with it or worry about it -- if they don't

worry about it they can go about life without fear of when they will have their last moments.

If you live life knowing that you're going to live a scared

life, but if you don't pay it any attention then you won't

be scared and won't worry.

Having knowledge is like being tortured because you know what

is going to happen and you can't stop it.

The story connects to "ignorance is bliss" because a lot of unexpected

things happen. If you don't know it's coming, you won't be worried about it.

You may know things that you're not

sure that you want to know.

Humans know that they will die, but

they keep pushing on. Humans and

Prometheus are both tortured, but

in different ways.

If someone has too much knowledge about life experiences,

then they know all of the horrible things wrong with the world.
