I'm examining Tadzio's feelings towards Aschenbach, specifically as presented with "Tadzio smiled. Smiled at Aschenbach, unabashed and friendly, a speaking, winning, captivating smile, with slowly parting lips. With such a smile it might be that Narcissus bent over the mirroring pool a smile profound, infatuated, lingering, as he put out his arms to the reflection of his own beauty; the lips just slightly pursed, perhaps half-realizing his own folly in trying to kiss the lips of a cold shadow- with a mingling of conquety and curiosity and a faint unease, enthralling and enthralled."

I need help finding the connection with Narcissus and Tadzio's feelings. I understand the story of Narcissus, but I am unable to figure out how it's related to Tadzio.

I am not familiar with the story, but you might find THIS study guide of the story useful. Look at the Summary and Analysis of Chapter Four.

Hope this helps.
