Question #4: Describe the atmosphere of the story, if it's important. How does the author
create this atmosphere?
The story of "Cupid and Psyche" has an enchanting and suspenseful atmosphere, with a
satisfying resolution. The author sets this mood by using vivid descriptions of magical settings,
like the palace and gardens. Additionally, the characters, especially Psyche, go on an emotional
journey, facing trials and obstacles in their quest for love and redemption.
In the story, the settings include the grand palace and beautiful gardens of Venus, the lonely
mountain where Psyche is left behind, the picturesque flowery dale where she's whisked away
by Zephyr, the sacred temple of Ceres, the eerie underworld, and finally, the celestial gathering
of heavenly beings.
The climax of the story happens when Psyche, driven by curiosity, decides to open the box that
supposedly contains the beauty from Proserpine. As a result, she falls into a deep sleep that
looks like death. But don't worry, Cupid steps in and wakes her up, resolving the conflict. This
leads to their ultimate union and, to top it off, Psyche becomes immortal. So basically, curiosity
got the best of her, but love saved the day and made everything awesome in the end.
