Read the following prompt and type your response in the space provided. Consider the poem "A Musical Instrument," by Elizabeth B
arrett Browning. Write two paragraphs. Use details from the readings to support your points. In the first paragraph, explain the connection between the poem and the myth of Pan. In the second paragraph, explain how the two differ in terms the events and Pan's actions.
Pan, in both stories, was a god with a soul for music. For they both have their differences, but they both travel back to being a music freak. He overpowered women and seduced them, until he met musical instruments.
The differences in these stories are very clear. In "The Musical Instrument" Pan seems a lot more forceful and frightening. Which, in the Myth, this is not true. He did use sexual powers at his advantage but he was a very knowledgeable god.
