Reading Notes B: Mahabharata
The story of how the King killed the deer was very
interesting. I want to rewrite this story and change how the topic was about
sexual intercourse, to greed. Since the Brahmin had powers to make the kings
death as he wished, I want to make this a big part of the story. The king in my
case could already have a curse on him. I am not sure what I want to make it
though just yet. This could cause him to try and bend rules; and force him to
find food in other manners. Since the Brahmin was in the form of a deer when
shot, I could make him the source of food the king was going for.
I also found the story of how Amba was trying to get revenge
at Bhisma was suprising. I am curious about making a story of how someone would
be willing to weaken themselves out to make a compromise to attempt to hurt
someone else. She wasn’t promised that she would win the battle against Bhisma,
but she was told by Vishnu that she could do it. I am not sure how I am going
to twist the story from how she starved herself to what I am going to write
about. Although I don’t know if she knew that Bhisma was granted to me both a
human and divine. I want to twist the story to where Amba doesn’t turn into a
man to over the battle, and instead stays as a woman just dressed in man
clothes.
I am also thinking of writing a story of two lost brothers
who do not know they are brothers fight over something, and find out they are
brothers after the aftermath. This to match the story of Arjuna and his brother,
who are sons to Kunti.
