The most dangerous part of the Cupid and Psyche story is that the sisters are not wrong.
She has never seen his face. The palace could be an illusion. She could be married to a monster. Every fact they present is accurate.
They tell her: bring a lamp. Verify. See for yourself.
This is correct advice. It is also the thing that destroys her life.
The most destructive weapon in any story is accurate information delivered by someone who wants you to fail. The sisters did not lie. They did not need to. The truth was sufficient.
