Eros and Pysche Are Watching

The drama of Love and Soul evolves into a comedy full of wonder and we never know what is going to happen. The Love and Soul in Greek Mythology is represented by Eros and Psyche. They themselves are lovers with drama diffused into the stories of their love. These Greek gods now play with the outcome of our love lives and with the love life of Candide and his lover Cunegonde.

As Eros sleeps and Psyche walks down the stairs. The growing curiosity in the soul begins to form in both Candide and Cunegonde about one another. This silent curiosity is played by flirts, they are in love and they are young, like Psyche.

Psyche finally walks up close to get a good view of her husband, Eros, and as she does this candle wax falls from the candelabra she is holding and burns Eros. They stare and she blows out her candle, now she will suffer. In the book of Candide they control the story, and Cunegondes mother finds out about their love and Candide is kicked out, Eros skin burns. As Candide is now left alone on the streets to wonder he finds out from his teacher that Cunegonde is dead; Eros stares in disbelief into the eyes of Psyche, he is now wide awake, and her candle is blown out.

Both Candide and Cunegonde suffer in different ways. Eros heals his wound as he is still shocked at what Psyche did. Psyche must suffer and she does, she is punished for her wrong doing, just like Candide was kicked out of the house he was living in Westphalia.

The earthquake is like Zeus saying, "enough is enough" which allows Candide and Cunegonde to join again. Eros and Psyche begin to move closer to each other. Candide does not know Cunegonde is alive, but at last they see each other. Eros and Pysche begin to flirt. Candide and Cunegonde are in shock, and they begin with small flirtatious talk. Eros and Psyche kiss and Candides and Cunegondes happiness has grown to another level.

Does Eros and Psyche play along with this relationship? Cause and effect? Who knows?
