A.
Out of rage, Venus enlists Cupid's help to avenge her from a mortal maid, who is known for her looks so beautiful she is mistaken as the goddess herself. The plan backfires, and Cupid secretly falls in love. Readers can only hope that Venus never finds out that Cupid is the one who married her.
B.
When Psyche's destiny to marry a monster is revealed to her, she accepts her doomed fate and climbs the mountaintop. Surprisingly, she is carried to a beautiful place where she is well taken care of but only hears her husband, who is later revealed not as a monster but Cupid himself. She is one lucky girl.
C.
Psyche's sisters are awful, as they are obviously jealous of Psyche's situation of living a wonderful life with a loving husband. Full of green-eyed envy, the sisters convince Psyche to sneak into her husband's room at night to see his face, even if it means that she might lose it all, including his trust.
D.
When Cupid pierces himself with his arrow, he falls in love with Psyche but cannot reveal his identity, as Venus has cast a spell on Psyche so that she can only marry a monster. Psyche, however, does not heed Cupid's wish to trust him and looks on his beautiful face, which hurts him in the end.
