Look at the following commentary on "Cupid and Psyche" from Bulfinch's Mythology. The fable of Cupid and Psyche is usually consi

dered allegorical. The Greek name for a butterfly is Psyche, and the same word means the soul. There is no illustration of the immortality of the soul so striking and beautiful as the butterfly, bursting on brilliant wings from the tomb in which it has lain, after a dull, groveling caterpillar existence, to flutter in the blaze of day and feed on the most fragrant and delicate productions of the spring. Psyche, then, is the human soul, which is purified by sufferings and misfortunes, and is thus prepared for the enjoyment of true and pure happiness. In your journal, reflect on Bulfinch's analysis of the story's theme. Do you agree or disagree with his analysis? Why or why not? What new questions does this analysis of "Cupid and Psyche" bring to mind? Can you answer them? If not, does it matter? Explain.

Answer:

Well slightly you could say that it being called "allegorical" would go with the theme, the theme may be jealousy which could be the reason Venus gave all the nearly impossible (and inevitable) tasks to do, although Venus was possibly jealous because of Cupid liking Psyche and Psyche being mortal.  

The statement fits with the theme of the story, because it wasn't made clear or stated that Venus was jealous, it used her actions to foreshadow (is that the right word for it?) the theme. Similar to how Psyche means soul and butterfly and how her soul is made immortal, like a transition for a caterpillar to a butterfly.

melamori03 [73]

<h3>What does the line suggest about Romeo?</h3>

What this line suggests about Romeo is that he loved Juliet deeply and cared very much for her. He was no longer bound to Rosaline and everything about his physical features Juliet interested him.

Complete Question:

Question 5 of 10 What does this passage say about Romeo's feelings for Juliet on seeing her for the first time? ROMEO O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night As a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear— Beauty too rich for use, for Earth too dear. So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows. The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand And, touching hers, make blessèd my rude hand. Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight, For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night. —William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, Act I, scene v, lines 51-60. A. He's angry because he knows she's a Capulet and they can't be together. B. Romeo is conflicted because he now loves both Juliet and Rosaline. C.

Rearrange snored to give this meaning male bees
SpyIntel [72]

Male bees are also called drones.

Explanation:

When we rearrange the letters of the word <em>snored</em>, we get the word <em>drones</em>, which refers to male honey bees. Drones, unlike female worker bees, don't have stingers and don't gather pollen or nectar. Their main role is to mate with the queen bee and continue the propagation of the hive. Despite not doing what we may think all bees do, such as collecting pollen, mating is not their only function. For example, when it gets cold, along with other bees, they shiver in order to raise the temperature, or buzz around the intruders to disorient them and chase them away.
