Answer:

Provide some details in the story that will prove that Arachne’s pride is the reason for her downfall?

There are several instances wherein Arachne could have prevented her gruesome fate if she only kept her thoughts to herself.

Here are the things that Arachne did to bring Athena’s curse upon her:

  • She could have shown less pride when the nymphs said that her skill in weaving could have only come from the Goddess Athena.
  • She could have stayed humble instead of claiming in front of the old woman that she was a better weaver than the Goddess.
  • Arachne should have backed down from the challenge instead of trying to humiliate a goddess in a contest.
  • Finally, she could have chosen a better subject for her weave instead of embroidering on to it the faults, abuses and imperfect character flaws of the Gods.

Explanation:

Arachne’s problem started when she started flaunting her skill in weaving as soon as the nymphs from the woods heard about her. You see here, she really could have just given a smile instead of displaying too much pride by saying she owes none of it to the Goddess. After the nymphs, she said the same thing with the old woman who was actually Athena in disguise. And this time she actually made it worse by claiming that she is better than the Goddess. Make the sins of the gods as the main subject of her work didn’t help at all, it only fueled more anger from Athena.

Here are some of the images one will see on Arachne’s embroidery:

  1. There was an image of Zeus as a philanderer, it showed images of what he did to get at Europa, Leda, and Danae.
  2. There was Pluto’s (Hades) abduction of Persephone to make her queen of the underworld.
  3. Dionysus’s pursuing Erigone.
  4. The weaving also had images of the gods indulging in total debauchery.

After losing to Arachne without admitting it, Athena cursed her to become the creature we know today as the spider. Because of her confidence and pride, Arachne had to spend the rest of her life in such a repulsive form while still continuing her craft.
