Cupid & Psyche Allegory status

Thus far throughout Apuleius' work, we see the story of a beautiful girl who is married by Cupid.
But this is not the only reason for Apuleius telling us this: there is an elaborate metaphor built into the infrastructure of the story; the tale of how the soul; Psyche; has a relationship with physical love; Cupidity/Erotic; if we can use his Roman name, Eros.
In the beginning of the tale, the soul is seen as a formidable status, and is not approached by any. It is such pureness that both draws and repels people, and the status of the soul is elevated above that of love. Love grows jealous, and sends Cupidity to ruin the soul. Cupidity however, sees the soul for what it is and falls in love with it.
After managing to bring the soul to Cupidity, physical love warns the soul of those that would seek to do it harm by way of fouling the relationship, and hides himself in darkness so that the soul would remain pure and innocent of the way of physical love. This is done to protect the soul, but Cupidity warns the soul not to talk to jealousy; by way of her sisters; and tries very hard not to let them in at all.
However, the soul sees the sisters through rose-colored glasses and in pressure, makes a mistake, and jealousy sets its ugly roots inside of the soul. The sisters, jealous of what the soul has, set out to destroy that which the soul holds dear.
They set seeds of doubt inside the soul and the soul is plagued by panic, and fear, and so the soul is uprooted once again, first by jealousy, then by fear, and begins to lose the innocence that Cupidity is trying to preserve.
