The Captive Woman: This story is much more intense than any of Aesop's tales. I seemingly noble woman is taken away from her home of comfort and put away in a cell. The only way she deals with her situation is be crying uncontrollably and wasting all of her energy, instead of trying to escape or understand what has happened. The elderly woman brought into to help the young woman from crying, does not console but scorns her for her tears. This is an interesting story and I don't think I am completely understanding the main point or take away, if there was one.
Her Dream: This story describes a violent dream had by a soon to be bride about her misfortunate wedding day. Her mother comforter her and says the more violent the dream the more happy the reality. I think this is interesting because I thought during this time period, dreams were still considered omens and predictions into the future.
Psyche's Beauty: Wow. Venus not cool. She basically got really made that there was a human more beautiful than her and set out to make Psyche's life the worst. Venus asked her own son to create something really terrible to happen to Psyche. That pretty mean.
The Mysterious Husband: This is a very interesting continuation of Psyche's story. Her unknown husband denies her to see anyone during the day, but after many tears and pleading she is allowed to see her sisters under tight rules made by her husband. At the end of the story Psyche is able to make her own rules just by her tight embrace and love. I thought this was an interesting story because at the beginning Psyche is kept under tight rule, but at the end she uses her own femininity and power to woo her husband into letting her do what she wants and have what she needs.
