Reading Notes: Cupid and Psyche Part A

The robbers want to cheer up the woman they stole and the older woman consoling her is very nice at first. Normally you would think the robbers would be hateful to their captive, but with this out of character start, I am wondering where the story will go. The transition from explaining the beautiful wedding scene to the fearful kidnapping was done really well. The old woman said that having a bad dream is actually a good sign, I wonder if this is true. The part about Psyche's wedding was very sad and the author showed this through the outfit choices and character's actions on the day of the ceremony. I enjoyed the introduction to Psyche and Cupid's story. The author used two characters from a mini story to kick off the main story. The sister's envy was a great plot twist in the tale. I enjoyed the ending of the first half of the unit, but I wonder what happened to the kidnapped girl from the beginning of the story.
