Narcissus's proud nature (A) leads to Echo's death and a curse upon his name from a spurned lover.

Narcissus was a the hunter son of the goddess Liriope who was destined to be great but only if he did not "know himself". His name later became the origin of the word "narcissism", which translates to self-centered and proud nature in a person.

  • In Greek mythology, Narcissus was handsome but also knows his own beauty.
  • This led him to reject people and even taunt them for being "unqualified" to be with him.
  • One of those whose love he scorned was Echo, a nymph who he rejected bluntly.
  • He also angered Nemesis, the goddess of revenge, who put a curse on him.
  • This curse led to his infatuation with his own appearance, further leading to his deterioration and eventual death.

The character of Narcissus was one who showed how one's pride in oneself can be destructive. And Narcissus learned his lesson the hard way. His proud nature led to the death of Echo, the nymph, and also brought a curse upon himself. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
