As the latest installment of the beloved series Bridgerton graced our screens for a week, the fervent consumption of the initial four episodes left fans both enthralled and perplexed. Eyes and minds sharp with anticipation have scoured each frame for veiled hints that could reveal the fates of its cherished characters before the arrival of the next set of episodes. Among the various discoveries, the enigmatic symbols interwoven between Colin and Penelope's narrative have captured the collective curiosity.
So you know that whole scene in the final ball in episode four when they have the dancers? Well, on the floor in that scene is a big painting of Eros and Psyche from Greek mythology. Why are Eros and Psyche significant? Well, Eros AKA Cupid is assigned to find Psyche a husband, sounds like Colin and Penelope right? Just wait.So, Eros accidentally shoots himself with an arrow and falls in love with Psyche, just as Colin is in love with Penelope! Psyche also has two sisters (Like Pen), and Venus (we know from Queen Charlotte that the Queen is associated with Venus) is incredibly jealous of Psyche, just like Queen Charlotte is jealous of Lady Whistledown.
But there’s more, Psyche is depicted through art with butterfly wings and who else is covered in butterflies throughout the show? Penelope!Then as well as having the big painting of Eros and Psyche on the floor, Cressida Cowper also calls Colin and Penelope Eros and Psyche when she’s trying to flirt with Lord Debling and in episode two Gregory gets a bow and arrow off Colin from his travels which he preceded to aim at Colin, just like cupid’s arrow!
I am obsessed with the minds of these people.
