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

(for the sake of you not having it given back, edit it to look like you wrote it pls. this was my actual answer for this question when i got it)

Well, in a way, you could say that the fact that it is called "allegorical" fits with the theme; the theme might be jealousy, which might explain why Venus gave everyone the nearly impossible tasks to complete. Venus may have been jealous because Cupid liked Psyche and Psyche was mortal, but that doesn't necessarily mean that Venus was.

Thomas Bulfinch, an American banker and Latinist, gathered a number of myth and legend tales that he revised for a general readership and had published as Bulfinch's Mythology after his demise in 1867. By the work, English-speaking readers were successfully introduced to Greek mythology.

It was "one of the most popular books ever published in the United States and the standard work on classical mythology for nearly a century," according to Carl J. Richard and John Talbot of Brigham Young University, up until the release of classicist Edith Hamilton's 1942 book Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes.

When the first little crocus peeped out of the ground,
And slyly looked round,
Not a flower was awake, not a bit of new green
Was anywhere seen;
5 And it seemed, with a shiver the little one said,
"Oh, I am afraid,
The trees are so n.a.k.e.d, the earth is so black!
Please let me go back!
You have called me too early, my dear Mother Spring,
10 I am such a wee thing!"

Then a bluebird whistled, "Oh, no! my dear,
It is good you are here;
For now we are sure that spring is near."
Then a sober old robin came bustling by
15 With the sleep in his eye;
"Ah, me! how s.t.u.p.i.d. I was to wait;
And now I am late!
The bluebird has piped, and the crocus has come;
And you know by the hum
20 The h.o.t little bee is beating his drum."

Then sweet Mother Spring, with a sunshine k.i.s.s.,
Said something like this:
"Thanks, brave little crocus, so slender and small,
For heeding my call
25 While orchards were leafless, and snow-drifts staid
In the all-day shade:
You are telling us sweetly that soonest begun
The soonest is done;
That little by little makes up the great,
30 And early obeying is better than late."
