Mythology
Narcissus
|
|
Narcissus, the beautiful boy, was very vain. One
example of his vanity was his attitude about others. As he walked in the
woods, he thought that he could not be friends with anyone less beautiful than
he. He would rather be lonely than lower himself. Another example was his
arrogance when he met Echo in the woods. He was rude to her and told her that
she was just like every other girl who would faint when they saw him and want
to kiss him. Echo was so sad that she asked Aphrodite to make her disappear.
Finally, Narcissus showed vanity when he saw himself in the river and fell in
love with his own reflection. He loved himself so much that he will not leave
the riverbank and eventually died. Narcissus was a boy that is very full of
himself and it caused him to be very foolish. |
