AbbyDriskell https://padlet.com/thibodeauxa/a3/wish/276655513 The story of Narcissus in the Alchemist had a slightly different ending than the traditionally told version. In this retelling, when the goddess of the forest asks why the lake weeps for Narcissus, it was only because the lake saw the reflection of ITSELF in his eyes. The lesson that the Alchemist passes to Santiago from this story is that sometimes people get too distracted with their own problems and desires and lose sight of the beauty of the world and universe around them.

He brought many new ideas, such as serving tea in crystal glasses. This, along with other new ideas, brought great profit to the crystal merchant and Santiago. Santiago and the merchant teach each other many things. For example, Santiago teaches the merchant that change is necessary even though it can be hard sometimes. Santiago also teaches him to go for his dreams because your personal legend is very important. ]]> 2018-08-30 16:59:12 UTC https://padlet.com/thibodeauxa/a3/wish/276665612 Emma's Sources morgen_gottstine https://padlet.com/thibodeauxa/a3/wish/276665652 https://www.google.com/search?q=enrique+iglesias&

Santiago was fated to be stolen from and have to find work. However, it was his free-will that chose the crystal shop as the place to do that work. Also, once he earned enough money, he had the free-will to chose to continue to try to find his personal legend, even though he could have gone to re-become a shepherd.

However, sometimes the image is slightly different than that of a normal reflection. This is because the light is more refracted on the curved surfaces, causing it to bounce back and be seen differently. This is significant to The Alchemist because the Crystal Merchant is a refraction of what Santiago could have turned into. Both are similar, as they each had a dream they wish to fulfill, but the merchant never makes his dream come true. He is a representation of what might happen to Santiago should he had not chose to continue his journey.

AbbyDriskell https://padlet.com/thibodeauxa/a3/wish/277407714 When reading the story of Narcissus, the Alchemist does not consider it to be a warning tale, or a bad example that is meant to be taken as a lesson. He values pursuing self goals and selfishness and instead says, "What a lovely story." Paulo Coelho uses this short prologue to portray his own feelings about narcissism and how he appreciates it as a good thing rather than excessive.
