question 4 chp 2

Psyhce's funeral-marriage is very sad. Since her father went to the oracle he was told that she had to stand at the edge of a cliff in her funeral clothes. During the funeral marriage she was dressed in clothes that would normally be worn for a funeral/marriage. Just like a marriage ceremony she is walked down with torches but the torches are dripping black ash. Since this is a sad event for her she wipes her tears with her wedding veil. The sadness of the occasion is underlined  by how the family feels. Her father and mother weeped for many days before they told her about the oracle and when the day came for the funeral marriage they all weept and were very sad.

pg 13 question # 1

1. I think that this story is going to be very hard for Psyche. She is a beautiful girl who people are comparing to the goddess Venus. Since Venus is angry she is going to do everything in her power to make sure Psyche doesn't take her place. I think that the story is going to end with Psyche marrying someone so ugly  because of what Venus tells her son Cupid.
