Dora, however, in some measure wanted to understand and be understood. While inhibited, she also wanted to lift the veil of secrecy within the family. Like Pandora, she struggled with keeping the lid on the bejewelled box, despite her thoughtful curiosity and her perception of the deception and hypocrisy of her parents, the Ks, and Viennese society.
