One of Arachne's character traits is that she boasts about her skills, this determines how the conflict is resolved. She is a very talented waver and she doesn't recognize that part of her talent comes from Athena. Athena decides to give her the body of a spider after they engage in a contest and Arachne's weaving depicts the god's mean actions. Athena is mad at Arachne because she makes fun of the gods and thinks she is better than Athena herself.
The setting can help a reader understand the theme.
One day I was lazy and I decided that I didn’t want to study for the English test I had the next day. I played video games, watched TV, and hung out with friends. The next morning I finished breakfast and got to school just fine. The time came to take the test and the teacher handed out the papers. We had forty minutes to complete the test. I looked down at the paper and couldn’t answer any of the problems. At the end of the class, I went to my teacher with an empty paper and apologized for not studying and failing th test. She let me do a retake the next day. From that day on, I always studied for any test I ever took again.
Quite a creepy and spooky atmosphere causing the reader to feel tense/on edge
