 Exposition The 3 brothers, Zeus, Poseidon and Pluto are all given tasks. Zeus would take the sky,
and Poseidon would take the sea, leaving Pluto the unlucky task of ruling the
underworld. It was dark, and very empty. It was lifeless. The only thing that could be
felt in those endless caverns were the wandering souls trying to reach the other side.

Rising As Pluto took on his duties as god of the underworld, the setting of the dark, gloomy
Action place began to get to him. It started to drag him down as he became hateful and cruel.
He couldn’t feel anything anymore except for deep sadness. He knew he needed
something in his life. Something that would bring him the slightest bit of joy.
Climax He took Ceres daughter, in hopes that the beautiful Proserpina would be his maid of
light in the deep depths of the underworld. Though she did bring him joy, Proserpina
refused to eat anything that he offered. He felt frustrated. He thought, “Why would a
beautiful maid refuse such gifts from such a powerful, cunning god?” And though he
had his frustrations, he kept trying. He tempted her with pastries and baked good, yet
she still refused. She refused to eat until she could see he mother once again.
Falling Pluto knew all the trouble he was causing. With Ceres heartbroken, not attending to
Action the crops, the world above grew cold and grey, and Proserpina, without her mother,
she felt empty with hunger and despair. But with all this pain, Pluto felt like hi void
was finally becoming satisfied. All he needed to do, was tempt the young maiden just
to have a single taste of food in the underworld. She refused, unless she were to have
a single fruit grown by her mother. Quicksilver, the god of speed, searched the cold
and withered earth until he found one pomegranate. He brought it back to Pluto, and
Pluto offered it to the mistress. With his selfish need or the girl, he deeply hoped she
would sink her teeth into the delicious fruit. Proserpina was to hungry, that she had
only taken one single taste of the fruit before stopping herself.
Resolution With that taste of the fruit, Pluto allowed Proserpina to see her mother once more, yet
he knew, with how ever many seeds she swallowed, those were the amount of months
she had to stay in the underworld with him. He was very satisfied with himself when
he realized Proserpina swallowed 6. She would stay 6 months with him, and 6 months
with her mother Ceres. He was able to keep his only light in the dark, eerie
underworld.

emotions and feelings. I choose this point of view because I wanted to show Pluto’s full thoughts
throughout the plot, and his side of the story.
