![]() ![]() Till We Have Faces is similar but with slightly different emphases. She truly wants to love and be loved in return. ![]() Psyche is a much more formless character in this tale, yet she still recognizes her sin and strives to pay penance for it. This story also reminded me of two things: how much I hate Venus/Aphrodite and how hopeless pagan religion is. Cupid and Psyche is a tale warning of curiosity, the rights of men and gods, spousal relationships, and justification. While these two stories complement each other, they are also different. ![]() Both stories are great in their own right, but they also complement each other in ways you will miss if you don’t read the original before the retelling. But when I saw that note, I decided that I should read the original first, and I’m glad I did. And I know, the front cover of Lewis’s book literally says a myth retold, but I hadn’t really thought about it much. ![]() Thankfully, I read the inside cover first, which informed me that this was a retelling of Cupid and Psyche. So I finally bought a copy, and a couple of weeks ago, I sat down to read it. A least a dozen people in the last year or so have told me that I HAVE to read Till We Have Faces by C.S. ![]()
