Week 4 Reading Notes: Ovid's Metamorphoses II Part A

The first four parts of Ovid's Metamorphoses II are focused on the story of Persephone, but they don't really treat her as the main character. In fact, she's barely a character at all. How she feels and what she thinks is never really explored, and the whole story is just about other people reacting to her kidnapping for plot reasons. I think it would be interesting to tell the story with more of Persephone's point of view, and maybe also take the plot in a less kidnappy direction.
