Cupid and Psyche Unit: Main Page
Oh wow. That is not how I expected the story to go! The thieves kidnapped the young girl, but with no intention of harming her, they just want money. That is weird to me because in a lot of other stories, there is always malicious intent. Also, the old woman's response to the agony of the young girl's fresh grief was rude! She threatened to kill her after attempting to console her! Counterproductive and counterintuitive.
That was awesome! I could literally see the room that the young girl was getting ready to be married in. The details of the event and decorations and the description of the young couple's love was wonderful. I'm glad the old lady changed her attitude after hearing the girl's dream!
Why didn't Psyche deny the praise of the people? She knows that she isn't Venus incarnated, and so does Venus! If I were Psyche, I would stop the worshiping immediately. Beauty harbors vanity though, I suppose. Venus is on a rampage now, Psyche better enjoy her few remaining seconds in the spotlight! I like this passage a lot!
This is such a horrible fate! Poor Psyche...I understand her a little better now, poor girl. This is an odd twist in the story! Marrying a suitor whose offspring will destroy the world. I did not see that coming!
High on a mountain crag, decked in her finery,
Lead your daughter, King, to her fatal marriage.
And hope for no child of hers born of a mortal,
But a cruel and savage, serpent-like winged evil,
Flying through the heavens and threatening all,
Menacing ever soul on earth with fire and sword,
Till Jove himself trembles, the gods are terrified,
And rivers quake and the Stygian shades beside.
Why won't he let her see him? That's sketchy. He does love her though because he's letting her do whatever she wants! She has him wrapped around her finger and she is using it to her advantage! But she does need to see her sisters, they're blood! There's a sister bond that can't be broken!
OH my goodness. These sisters are wicked and driven by greed! They didn't remain joyous at the sight of their sister being alive still for very long! They both turned a harsh shade of green. Poor Psyche. She just keeps getting rained on!
OH MY GOSH! I actually didn't see this coming. I forgot that Venus had wanted Cupid to get revenge! This is the climax of the story so far. Poor Psyche though...she's absolutely madly in love with him and he has to leave because of her actions.
Good grief! A mother should never say any of that to a child. Ever. Especially since he's done his mother a favor and hidden Psyche from the world. Everyone would gave upon her beauty but now that she's hidden away, Venus can regain her throne and Cupid can still live in love with his wife, Psyche.
Good grief why does Psyche have to die? And why is it so difficult to find her on earth? Psyche can't fly! I feel like Venus' powers aren't as powerful as she would like to believe.
Ah yay! Psyche caught a break! The little ants are helping her sort the food :) Maybe it'll even trick Venus into letting her go. Venus is oddly cruel for being the goddess of love. She's very extreme. My opinion of her has changed significantly. The next tasks are going to backfire on Venus. Tasks are a big deal in mythology, I'm noticing.
Psyche. Seriously? Did she not learn the first time someone said to not look at something? Bad things happen when she disobeys. She's really not smart. I'm actually really irritated with Psyche currently. Don't look into the jar of beauty. End of story.
Aw! YAY! A happy wedding! I'm not used to happy ever afters with the mythology stories I've read. My heart is all warm and happy and hopeful :) It's so sweet! And Pleasure was born! Cupid finally found his love and Psyche overcame Apollo's Oracle.
The young bride escaped! She gets to have a happy ever after just like Psyche did :) I really truly loved this story so so much! It was truly sweet and romantic.
