"The Pomegranate Seeds" by Nathaniel Hawthorne recounts the narrative of Demeter, otherwise called Ceres, her girl Persephone, otherwise called Proserpina and Pluto, or Abbadon, the lord of the hidden world. Â
At some point, some time in the past, Ceres needed to leave her girl Proserpina to really focus on the word, for she was the goddess of gather. While she was gone, Proserpina chose to pick a few blossoms to make neckbands for her companions, the ocean fairies. While she is gathering blossoms, she goes over the most lovely bush she had at any point seen. Proserpina chose to pull up the plant and carry it to her nursery. She pulled a lot lastly got the bush free. In where the bush had been was a vast opening. Out of the opening came a chariot pulled by ponies, on which sat an attractive yet hazardous looking man. The man, Ruler Pluto maneuvered Proserpina onto the chariot and stole her away to his home, the Hidden world. Â
They went through the sky and in the long run go to the passage of the hidden world. After entering his realm, Pluto welcomed his canine, Cerberus. He at that point took Proserpina over the extraordinary lake Lethe, whose waters make individuals fail to remember. He offered her a beverage, so she would not miss her mom so severely. Proserpina wouldn't drink; she additionally would not eat, realizing that any food she burned-through would make it so she would never leave Pluto's realm. Â
In the mean time, Ceres looked, she asked ranchers, sprites, grovels, and satyrs. Following quite a while of looking, she happened upon a lady named Hecate who, after some grumbling, consented to come on her hunt. Then, they went to visit Phoebus, who is likewise called Apollo, the divine force of the sun. Phoebus revealed to her that he had without a doubt seen Proserpina, who was currently "securely" with the god Pluto and would clearly have a brilliant life. Â
When Ceres heard the news, she was distressed to such an extent that she failed to remember her work and started meandering the world looking for an approach to contact her girl. On her excursion, she goes to the place where there is Eleusis, administered by Ruler Celeus. In her human camouflage, she accepted the position of medical attendant to Sovereign Metanira's child Demaphoon, who was exceptionally debilitated. She cautioned Metanira never to meddle with her work. Under her consideration, Demaphoon got sound, however he never ate or drank milk. The sovereign became dubious and chosen to keep an eye on Ceres. One evening, she snuck into her chamber and saw Ceres put Demaphoon into the chimney. She was so worried for her child that she pulled him from the coals. Ceres chastised the lady, clarifying how she had made the kid super-solid and that now she would leave, her work incomplete. The entirety of Ceres' time away from the world had made the world endure. In her pity, she caused individuals of earth to endure and they all went hungry. The divine beings perceived how individuals endured and sent Mercury, or Hermes, down to the hidden world to request that Pluto discharge Proserpina. Â
Taking all things together the time her mom had voyaged, Proserpina still couldn't seem to eat any food in the hidden world. Despite the fact that she seemed troubled, she ended up experiencing passionate feelings for Pluto, at any rate a smidgen. One day she disclosed to him that she would not eat his food and needed just her mom's preparing or natural product from her nursery. In answer, Pluto's worker brought her a pomegranate, and however it was wilted and old, she took a nibble. All at once, Mercury showed up and mentioned to Pluto what was going on earth. In his astuteness, Pluto chose to release Proserpina. He felt frustrated about her, and the world was languishing. Proserpina left with Mercury, however she was somewhat miserable, she had become partial to Lord Pluto. Â
Proserpina was gotten back to her mom who was so glad to see her! At the point when examined concerning her time in the Hidden world, Proserpina confessed to eating six seeds from the pomegranate. Ceres disclosed that because of those seeds, Proserpina would need to go through a half year in the hidden world. Supposedly, Ceres misses her girl such a huge amount during her a half year away that she leaves the world to develop cold. At the point when Proserpina returns, Ceres is excited to such an extent that she makes the world sprout. Presently we have four seasons, fall and winter, when Ceres misses her little girl, and spring and summer, when they are brought together.
