What allusion of the greek mythological story of echo and narcissus is found in The Awakening by Kate Chopin?
Echo was a beautiful nymph who was overly fond of talking. She lived in the hills and was a favorite of Artemis and helped her with the hunt. One day she kept Hera (Zeus' wife) talking while the other nymphs who were sleeping with Zeus fled. Enraged at losing her prey, Hera cursed Echo with these words: "You shall forfeit the use of that tongue with which you have cheated me, except for the one purpose you are so fond of - reply. You shall still have the last word, but no power to speak first". One day, after the curse had taken effect, Echo saw and fell in love with the beautiful young man named Narcissus. ChaCha oN!
