I have a mini presentation regarding “Cupid and Psyche”, which is really easy just saying your opinion (my opinion) on the story in 30 seconds-two minute. Because I have more to insights on the story and I had time to think about it (still didn’t present) I said I might as well write about it. Now “Cupid and Psyche” is a really short story (read about it in Wikipedia or the original story) that was influenced by Greek and Roman mythology and this story later on influenced many fairy tales that are known amongst us including “The Little Mermaid” (The next lines in this paragraph is the summary of the story so if you don’t want to bother skip this paragraph to the next one). The story mainly is about a god “Venus” who got jealous from a mortal “Psyche” because Psyche is extremely beautiful and sends her son “Cupid” to make her be in some sort of curse into marrying a really ugly man but the plan backfires where Cupid gets blind with her beauty, wounds himself with his arrow and falls in love with Psyche. Psyche, unlike her sisters, were unfortunate in her life and didn’t get married till her parents ask one god for help and reasoning and they were told about the curse. Anyway, later on Psyche gets married from Cupid, assuming he is an ugly guy because Cupid refuses for Psyche to see him (yup they are married but she has never seen him) then Psyche chooses to sneak in on him at the middle of the night and see him except the shock is he is EXTREMELY gorgeous and she falls in love with him. Cupid then wakes up and knows he is revealed and gets mad at her and goes away. Psyche could not help it she is in love with him, goes through hell to reach Venus and asks her for Cupid and after miraculous tasks and help from the other gods she is then reunited with Cupid, turned into a god and they lived happily ever after.
