The purpose of Alice Low in writing Orpheus is to impart to the readers the lesson of love and at the same time the value of acceptance. In the story, it was presented how Orpheus loved his wife that he is willing to go to the underworld, bargain with the Gods just to redeem his wife and such love is just too much that it hurts him . However, the value of acceptance is clearly presented here. Even with all the efforts Orpheus exerted, at the end of the day he still failed to bring back Eurydice because some things are not just meant to be.Whatever you do you can't just bring back those who are gone if it is not meant for them to be back.
