The myth of Cupid and Psyche revolves around many archetypes. Among these <em>the maiden, the shadow, the fall, the sacrifice, the task and the saviour </em>are essential in the story.

The maiden is depicted by princess Psyche whose beauty seems paralleled only by the pureness of her heart. The shadow, <em>which manifests itself through the corruption of feelings</em>, affects Venus making her envious of Psyche's beauty and sending her son Cupid to do her harm. Later in the tale, it also affects Psyche's sisters who become envious of her happiness and plant a seed of mistrust against her invisible husband. The fall occurs when full of doubt, Psyche transgresses Cupid's warning not to attempt to see him, action for which he is wounded and must leave her in misery.

The sacrifice is present when Psyche undertakes Venus's impossible tasks in order to be given a second chance with Cupid. Some of the tasks involve, sorting out Venus's Doves' mountain of grain, collecting golden wool from fierce sheep Psyche and going in and out of the underworld for which she counts on the help of several saviours such as ants, nymphs and a misterious voice respectively.

<span>The myth of Cupid and Psyche illustrates several archetypes. First, it uses the situational archetype of the Tasks or Tests that Psyche must perform. Psyche herself is an example of the Ingénue and/or Maiden character. She is young and beautiful and grows into a clever young woman. Venus is portrayed as the Wicked Witch or Stepmother with her unreasonable demands. The story calls to mind several situational archetypes: Beauty and the Beast, True Love's Kiss, and the Power of Love are all seen in this story. Like the story of Beauty and the Beast, Psyche believes she is being sent to be the bride of a horrific serpent who hides himself from her by day. And like that story, she is also led to betray him by her sisters who convince her to spy on him. Cupid awakening her from her deep slumber is like the traditional True Love's Kiss delivered by countless princes to awaken their princesses. And the Power of Love conquers all when Psyche is made immortal so the two lovers can be united forever.</span>

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer: Hello! This one is a little tricky, but I think your answer here would be B.  

Explanation: In this poem, The Masque of Red Death, the characters are forcefully quarentining themselves to stay away from others and evade the viral sickness going around (the plague). I think that Poe was writing about his feelings of lonliness in that part, as the abbey could have been a metaphor for having to keep people out of your life for the greater good.

Hope that this helps out somehow! Have a great day!

Compare the interview “On the Front Lines with Thurgood Marshall” with the informational text "Equal Justice Under Law.”
Goryan [66]

Answer:

The correct option is D (The interview provides first hand insight into marshals strengths and motivations while the information does not .)

Explanation:

The instructive content is the reason for the contentions in the meeting. "Equal with Justice Under Law" applies to everybody paying little respect to race and shading. In the meeting, the court case that was referred to was an unmistakable grandstand of correspondence and equity.

The educational content gives certainties and insights concerning Thur-good Marshall, while the meeting presents bits of knowledge into Marshall's contemplation's and inspirations.
