She kept trying to hug him or cling to him. But, because she could only repeat things that others would say(after being cursed by Hera), Narcissus spurned her, thinking she was much too foolish.
The nymph that was spurned by Narcissus was Echo.
Narcissus spurned the nymph Echo.
Self love, for Narcissus, or the arrogance of spurning love of others. For Echo, it is gossip, and then love not returned; or being unable to express love for another.
-echo was a nymph who loved narcissus -narcissus loved himself -pan loves echo -narcissus died cause he wouldn't stop looking at himself to eat -echo died of depression from losing narcissus -pan continued his life as a god
the complications between echo and narcissus are that echo is in love with narcisss and he is deeply in love with himself. thats where narcisum comes from (hard seeing beyond yourself, only focused on yourself)
In the story of Echo and Narcissus, the conflict is resolved tragically. Narcissus rejects Echo's love, leading her to waste away until only her voice remains. Narcissus, too, ultimately suffers as he falls in love with his own reflection and is unable to leave it, eventually withering away and turning into the narcissus flower.
Echo is a character from mythology- she fell in love with the youth, Narcissus.
Echo fell in love with Narcissus because Narcissus was very attractive. Unfortunately, Narcissus didn't fell the same way and got angry at her because she only echoed what he said.
He loved only himself. On the other hand the nymph Echo was in love with Narcissus.
Echo was cursed by Hera. Echo was in love with Narcissus and would not want to curse him. Some say he was cursed by Nemesis, who made him fall in love with his own reflection.
Narcissus wasted away while admiring his own reflection in a spring. Echo wasted away of her unrequited love for Narcissus. Much like many modern relationships.
Narcissus' problem is that he cruelly spurns all the women who love him (including Echo), and he fell in love with his own reflection.
