What is the best rising action of the story cupid and psyche?
The best rising action in the story of Cupid and Psyche is when Psyche disobeys Cupid's warning not to look at him while he sleeps, leading to his departure and leaving Psyche alone and heartbroken. This event sets off a chain of trials and tribulations for Psyche as she tries to win back Cupid's love and ultimately prove her worthiness to the gods.
Is psyche good or evil?
Basically, Psyche is good. Long story short, Cupid accidentally falls in love with her when Venus sends him to kill Psyche (Venus hates Psyche, a mortal, for being too beautiful). Venus is angry, and places a curse on Psyche. The curse makes certain that no man will ever marry her, despite her beauty. Cupid is angry and refuses to make anyone fall in love for as long as the curse continues. This means that people stop praising Venus. Eventually Venus caves to Cupid, allowing him to have one thing. He asks to have Psyche. Venus agrees. Meanwhile, down on earth, Psyche's parents abandoned her on a mountain, as advised by an oracle. The wind carries her away to a valley. At night, her groom arrives. The groom is Cupid, but Psyche doesn't know that. She becomes pregnant, still not knowing who her husband is. Cupid wants to wait to tell her who he is. Psyche's jealous sisters convince her that her husband is a serpent and that she should kill it while it's sleeping, but Psyche turns on a light and realizes who her husband really is. Cupid flees. Psyche gets back at her sisters by telling them that Cupid wants to marry them and that they should jump off of a mountain and the wind will take them to him. They both jump to their death. Psyche then enlists the help of several goddesses to find Cupid. They all tell her that she must consult Venus. Venus gives her several tasks to complete in order to be allowed to see Cupid again. She completes all of the "impossible" tasks, such as sorting seeds and fetching golden wool, with the help of various animals. After the last task, which involved going into the Underworld to get a box of beauty, Cupid begs Zeus to intervene and allow them to marry. He agrees, and Cupid and Psyche, who is made immortal, have a child together. Eventually, Psyche and Venus make amends. So, Psyche is good, unless you're asking Venus, who hated Psyche. You can also learn from this answer that it is really hard to briefly summarize Greek myths.

Who are Psyche's enemies?
Well, Psyche doesn't really have any enemies. She has Aphrodite/ Venus who does everything possible under the sun to keep Psyche and Eros (her son) apart. Talk about a terrible mother-in-law. But eventually, Aphrodite forgives Psyche. However, there's more to it than meets the eye. Aphrodite was originally angry with Psyche because men were leaving her temples to go worship Psyche. (She was so beautiful) So, she already had a reason to be angry with her, then Eros goes and falls in love with Psyche. I guess you could also say that Psyche's sisters are her enemies, because they are the ones who convince her that her husband could be a monster. This is what prompted Psyche to lose her faith in her husband, and Eros was angry and flew off. But don't worry, because they got back together again.

How do whiskey stones work?
The kinds that you get off the shelf typically are made of soapstone or some kind of polished rock that's safe to use in beverages.
