Basic Story:\nSome say there are two Eroses, the elder who is the early god, and the other who is the eternally young son of Aphrodite. The "elder" Eros was the cause of the birth of the race of immortal gods and goddesses. The "younger" Eros is the one depicted as a winged boy, the son of Aphrodite, considered to be both the most beautiful and the youngest of the gods. \nBut even in this form, kids grown up. Problems ensue when Eros (called Cupid in this story) falls in love with Psyche. His radiance is such that for her own safety, he insists that she must never look upon his face, and he only visits her at night. At first, she's cool with this, but her sisters and family insist that her husband must be a grotesque and dangerous monster. Finally, to shut them up, one night she lights a lamp and sees his glorious beauty, which doesn't blast her but does make her tremble so hard she shakes the lamp. A few drops of hot oil dribble on her beloved, burning him, and he flies away from her in physical pain compounded by the pain of knowing she doubted him. \nHis mom, Aphrodite, is angry over the injury and over the concealed relationship. While Cupid recovers, Aphrodite hopes to get Psyche out of the way permanently by making life extraordinarily difficult for her daughter-in-law. This takes the form of various potentially deadly tasks such as dropping by to get some beauty lotion from Persephone in the Underworld, and, while you're out, Psyche, could you pick up some bottled water from the River of the Dead (the Styx)? \nBut Cupid eventually recovers, comes to her rescue, and they marry. As is appropriate, the God of Love gets a happy-ever-after. \nSome Major Temple Sites:\nHe had a sanctuary on Mount Helion

Have you read the play?  It might be easier to answer if you have!  We can't do your homework for you!  But, here are some questions to get you thinking . . . \n\nWhat COULDN'T Hamlet make up his mind about?  And why was this tragic?  \n\nThese seem like simple, or even stupid, questions, but answering them will give you a place to start . . .

no that's not normal.\n\nbut the Oedipus complex is.\nThe Oedipus complex or conflict is a concept developed by Sigmund Freud to explain the origin of certain neuroses in childhood. It is defined as a male child's unconscious desire for the exclusive love of his mother. This desire includes jealousy towards the father and the unconscious wish for that parent's death. Later researchers used the term Electra complex for the same phenomenon in girls. (In Greek myth, Electra, daughter of Agamemnon, helped plan the murder of her mother.) Freud and his ideas were a primary inspiration for Carl Jung, who further described the concept and coined the term "complex".\n\nThe idea is based on the Greek myth of Oedipus, who kills his father Laius and marries his mother Jocasta. The Oedipus conflict, or Oedipus complex, was described as a state of psychosexual development and awareness first occurring around the age of 5 and a half years (a period known as the phallic stage in Freudian theory).

The most disturbing, horrific thing I could imagine is watching babies being tortured.  Yikes.

That's a tough one, I would say the eye thing. But I guess the worst would be watching your toenail get lifted with the eye that had popped out of the socket, that would suck.

Wow, the color one is really different! \nI think they are both disturbing, but Ophelia is a disturbed character.  This work communicates a bit of insanity, but there's also power in that chick's eyes! \nI think when people say "creepy" they're referring to the fact that the black and white one looks a little ghostly, but it's still appropriate and beautiful.  F^ck folks that can't handle it!

Hardest emotionally - probably Schindler's List, although Hotel Rwanda is also very intense.\n\nHardest because it was so awful - Scooby Doo. The only thing keeping parents in the theatre was the fear their child would be abducted. If there had been a guard, they'd have left.

The Entity! The thought of a spirit tormenting a person to no end frightens me to this day. The book is better...read it if you dare!
