4. The conversation between Narcissus and Echo is interesting to me because of the way Echo can still get her point across even though she can only repeat what Narcissus is saying. I think that it is definitely something a real echo can't do. It is just interesting to see such a cool explanation for where echoes come from.
5. Narcissus really falls in love with his reflection. This is problematic because Narcissus thinks that it is another person he sees in the reflection, but when he reaches out, he disturbs the water and the reflection goes away. The foundation for love in this story is wanting something you think you can't have. First with Echo and Narcissus and then Narcissus with himself, the person experiencing unrequited love grows more enamored with the other person the more they refuse them.
