#21 What it takes to love someone- Psyche and Zephyr

Eri Dumesh
10/23 Aim- How do fairy tales juxtaposed against ancient tales highlight the evolution of language, as well as the classic theme of love conquering all? 


Do now? What does it take to love someone? (This can be romantic, filial, pets, whatever you love hard.) I personally think that the person you love must have a unique, discerning quality, whether it be blood or not. 
Psyche (noun): The human soul, mind or spirit


Zephyr (Noun): A gentle, light breeze


Do the tales create the language, or does the language create the tales?
Narcissus named the flower after him, so I believe the tales create the language. Also, what came first? The orange color or fruit?


  1. Review the tale of Cupid and Psyche
  2. Review the Grimm’s Cinderella. Compare the literature
    Both stories have a common lesson that love is worth fighting for and that there are no boundaries in love. Both couples face trial and tribulation but overcome it to find each other. 


  1. Why do these themes seem to transcend time?

These stories tend to transcend time because they have simple morals that are common
throughout time. Although the stories are in a very different time and aren't very similar between
each other, their morals are similar and lifelong. They will apply as long as man lives,as it is a
basic human lesson. Love is not defined by class, position, or background. 

Psyche+ Hardship = Cupid

Human Spirit, soul, + Hardship = eternal love
