"Psyche" by Louis Couperus is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Psyche, the youngest princess of the Kingdom of the Past, who possesses delicate wings but yearns for the freedom of flight that eludes her. The opening chapters introduce Psyche's longing for adventure and her interactions with her two sisters, Emeralda and Astra, revealing themes of beauty, longing, and the burdens of royal expectations. At the start of the novel, we find Psyche wandering the vast battlements of her father's castle, peering into the unknown world below and dreaming of the freedom to explore beyond her confines. Despite the castle's towering grandeur and the beauty of her surroundings, she feels profoundly lonely, often escaping from her busy, beautiful sisters who embody the traits she lacks. The narrative weaves a fantastical atmosphere that hints at Psyche's inner turmoil and desires, setting the stage for her eventual encounters with the Chimera, a magnificent winged horse she admires. The opening chapters set up Psyche's conflict between her longing for liberation and the oppressive nature of her royal life, establishing a rich backdrop for her journey of self-discovery and love.
