“Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth?” … and then things get really difficult for Job.

In literature, proximity to God (or the gods) can be extremely dangerous to one’s health!

Write a well organized, three to four page essay in which you argue which character, Job or Prometheus suffers more unjustly (by human standards) at the hands of a higher power. Please consider the reason for the suffering, the nature of the suffering, and whether there is any relief (or lack thereof) from the suffering. Please avoid mere plot summary. Try to focus on specific scenes that serve as evidence for your thesis (which character suffers more unjustly).
