From the story " The Alchemist ") In medieval times, it was believed that there was a process that would change base metals into

gold. An alchemist has the ability to transform things. In the prologue, the alchemist changes the ending of the myth about Narcissus. Narcissus looked at his reflection in the lake every day. But in the alchemist's story, the lake was enjoying its own reflection in Narcissus's eyes. What do you think the author is implying about how we see ourselves and others?​

Answer:

Narcissus was a disdainful and self centered person.

Explanation:

he didn't stop to look at other people and see them for their insides, he rejected love and loved ones until he found his own reflection in the lake and fell in love with his own beauty, so much so that he didn't take part or notice of the world around him and knelt by the lake every day just to look at himself. (I don't know if this has any bearing but the lake was also in love with its own beauty.) The alchemist on the other hand, paid attention to everyone and everything and wondered about everything. he even wondered about sheep (that passage should be in your story). The meaning portrayed by the Narcissus story in The Alchemist is that people sometimes are too focused on their own beauty and physical things and they lose track of the Soul of the World and the true beauty within the universe.

One paragraph about who is the tragic hero of Antigone
LekaFEV [45]

Heroes come in many forms. Some such as immense in size and strength as  Hercules, some in the form of people that are shunned upon, such as Harriet  Tubman, and some that are only valorous heroes to some, such as Kurt Cobain.  These heroes have many characteristics that make people flock to their side and  follow them without a thought of hesitation. In Sophocles' Antigone the hero  is a women that believes in her heart far stronger than that of her leader's  rule. This brings up many characteristics that are shown within her that are  also seen in other heroes. One being that she is up against an impossible enemy,  one who does not fit well into society's mold, and is destroyed by her own pride.
