Document Summary
You may think, after going through so much emotional pain, one would learn a lesson. Although, in ovid"s, metamorphosis , i do not believe that was the case. Even after the outcome at the end of narcissus"s myth, i do not think he learned a lesson because he just withered away to die and he never really showed any sign of regret for what he did. In brief, ovid"s myth of narcissus is about a beautiful young man that everyone falls in love with at first sight because he is just that good looking. Narcissus thinks very highly of himself and never lets anyone love him; he would rather die than be loved by someone else. In the end, ovid shows narcissus dying in thirst of love for himself. In this myth, there are two main characters, narcissus and echo. Nymph, whose voice is taken away by saturia and now all she can do is repeat what she hears.
