Abstract

This article explores Paul Auster’s reinterpretation of the character of Pandora in the film Lulu on the Bridge (1998). Auster incorporates some features from Frank Wedekind and Georg Wilhelm Pabst’s previous versions, but ultimately transcends in order to connect them with elements of Hesiod´s original myth through dreams.
