“The Tale of Cupid and Psyche” has been interpreted as a Platonic allegory. It has also been interpreted from an archetypal (Jungian) perspective, with Psyche as allegorically representing the self in the process of
individuation or from a Freudian perspective focusing on psycho-sexual dynamics, In contrast to these tendencies to regard the tale from a philosophical or psychological perspective, some recent scholarship has
emphasized the historic aspect as regards gendered expectations of the second century Roman era regarding Roman law and prescribed female behavior and marriage. In a thesis-driven, analytic essay, explore the single
approach which is most compelling or persuasive to you.
