Reading Notes: Cupid and Psyche, Part B


Part 2 of Cupid and Psyche

The story that interested me most is Venus and Psyche 

My all-time FAVORITE princess is Cinderella. I seriously have loved her even since I was a toddler and so this story made me super excited as it related to her, as you said.


Venus Source

-Venus as beautiful as she may seem above abuses Psyche and her swollen and pregnant belly as she says no man will want her!

-Similar to Cinderella she tells Psyche that the only way a man will want her is if she works and proves herself!

-Ants come and pity Psyche, they do the task for her and disappear!

---One way to change this is to keep it back then but instead of the ants leaving possibly make them be friends and keep them constant throughout the rest of the story?

---The theme of love is huge throughout this story (shocker with Cupid and Venus being in it) but that theme needs to stay constant or else it will lose its power so the ants can't be the main part of the story!
