Close reading is reading to gain a basic understanding of the text and then reading to identify hidden meanings in the text. In order to read closely you may have to read the text a number of times before fully grasping all the concepts.
I would define pastoral as an individual looking on as a fatherly figure and being able to provide support if it is needed, such as a pastor in a church. OED defines pastoral as a person or thing associated with spiritual care. I think of a mistress as a seductress or woman participating in illicit acts with a married man. Mistress is deinfed as a woman having control or authority. I think of a nymph as a creature living in a forest, like they are portrayed in the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Nymph is defined as a semi-defined spirit often portrayed in poetry as an attendant to a particular god.
