Reading Notes: Cupid and Psyche Part B

Notes from Psyche's Prayer by Tony Kline

  • I liked the author's use of dialogue in the beginning of the story to discuss what Psyche was thinking at the time; I feel like this gives a better insight to each character and helps the audience feel more connected to them
  • Psyche is portrayed as a very thoughtful, humble, and kind person who wants to cause no drama with anyone
  • A plot twist to this could be that Psyche instead of praying, goes directly to argue with Venus and sort out their problems face-to-face quicker
  • This article uses several personifications and simile like comparisons
  • Another plot twist would be if Ceres actually helped Psyche instead of sending her away and saying that her and Venus had a lasting friendship
  • Instead of the friendship, the plot twist could be changed where Ceres has anger towards Venus for stealing a boyfriend or something (this would make it more modernized)
  • Juno also turns Venus away
  • Instead, another idea would be if Ceres and Juno teamed up to help Psyche go against Venus' little scheme and form their own friendship between the three of them
  • This article uses a lot of insight in Psyche's character; I would add in more dialogue, I typically seem to think dialogue helps make the read go faster and easier; it is more succinct
