Clytie

Myths not only answer the QUESTions, they also answer other doubts the reader might have in his/her mind. They talk about defects and values, which at the end of the road are the ones that make up the QUESTions. Overall, there is a value ( I would say its more of a feeling) that keeps appearing in the myths. This value/feeling is love. We see how it breaks down into smaller "topics", each myth talks about love in a different way. In Clytie, we see what happens when you make love the most important thing in your life. What happened to Clytie is a metaphore to what happens to humans. We become obsessed woth someone and ironically, that person doesn't belong to us. We become plants (of course, metaphorically speaking), and block out other things that give life a meaning.
The problem with love being the only thing in life is that sooner or later, it will be over. You have to have other things to help you stand when love isn't there to catch you. Clytie made love the only thing in her life, and when whe discovered it was never there, she lost what was left of her.
There is a connotative saying in spaish which says: "lo dejo plantado". I believe this myth could have had some sort of influence in this saying. Clytie became a plant waiting for a never coming love and the spanish saying is basically saying the same. Its incredible to see how a myth from a so far away land can influence our daily lives here and now.
