Chapter 2 Question 4

Pysche's funeral marrage is a time of great loss. A gloom hangs over all as they wail over Psyche's fate. All are really unsure of what to do as they leave her their alone to die. The saddness of the situation is underlined by the constant repition of words conveying the same meaning. This repition really drives home the piont the Apuleius is trying to make. For example, the parents mourned, cryed and wept. These all have closely related meanings but when place together aplify the message.
