A Lesson from Vanity: Narcissus

Will Narcissus ever learn to stop being vain from his punishment or was his punishment too much of an exile so that he will never learn?

In a way I feel that Narcissus was deserving of death as his punishment for vanity because he wasted his whole life loving only himself and never doing anyhting to appreciate or help things more important to him. Narcissus is now in the Underworld and never will find true love in something or someone other than himself. It was a punishment well- suited for him, he could never reach love becaus ehe was too focused on himself.
