Caption: Psyche in the Underworld by Paul Alfred de Curzon
Notes:
So, Cupid and Psyche's offspring is a girl. In my last notes, I guessed it was going to be a boy. Just for future reference.
This half of the story had more action. There was an unhappily married woman scorned, an illegitimate husband who was indisposed, a maiden whose wish was to die or have her husband, and a stolen lady who escaped on a donkey, guess what, to go marry her husband.
The story was a love story of sorts. I can see the Cinderella and Snow White themes trickled in every once in a while. Also, it was a happily ever after ending. Cupid married Psyche, and someone mentioned to her that it would be forever. The captured maiden and the donkey, Lucius got away, and everything turned out the best way that it could have.
It would be interesting to tell this story in a way where nothing turned out right. I believe that will be my goal with the writing assignment.
