Proserpine instinctively resists Hades who has been driven to abduct her by his passionate love. However, her adoring gaze contradicts the strong defiance of her rigid body recoiling from his grasp. It is as if she is aware that by leaving the surface of the earth to join him in his domain for half the year, she will plunge the ancient Greek world into the cold desolation of winter. She is torn between her fascination with Pluto and her responsibility to her beloved mankind.
