Week 2 Reading Diary cont.: Cupid and Psyche


Apuleius's Golden Ass, as translated into English by Tony Kline (2013). 
  • Venus doesn't love her husband
  • She is so unreasonable
  • she seems a bit OCD
  • for the first time ever she isn't suicidal
  • No one will help her because Venus is to scary and mean
  • She finally decided to toughen up and face the consequences of her actions
  • seriously, how many times will this girl try and commit suicide
  • Why does she never listen!!
  • of course the story ends well
  • Jupiter gives in to all of Cupid's wishes (which seems to be a trend)
  • Flashback to the beginning of the story with the kidnapped girl, her and the donkey run away
