Week 2 Reading Diary: Cupid and Psyche

Apuleius's Golden Ass, as translated into English by Tony Kline (2013).
  • The girl said she predicted the event in her dreams and that no one struggle to save her
  • Venus convinced cupid to set her up to fail and Apollo gives her father a terrible prophecy and she just wants to die. 
  • strange that she sees how beauty is not happiness and wants to die instead of being alone for the rest of her days
  • reminds me of locking the princess away in the tower
  • curiosity killed the cat
  • humans cannot deny temptation such as searching the place she was in 
  • the invisible things make it seem like a dream
  • he raped her
  • she doesn't listen well 
  • she gets better at it and her sister's are bipolar
  • having a sister would suck
  • she is pregnant but it is not yet known if it is mortal or divine
  • she asks for too much again
  • she is still a bad listener and her sister's are horrible people
  • cupid doesn't follow orders well either, i bet mother wouldnt be happy
  • was everyone this suicidal?
  • lmao where did she learn to be mischievous, the naive mindset had to end sometime i guess.
Psyche over Cupid
