So far I have found it difficult to read the Mahabharata (and spell it correctly!). I am having a hard time getting confused with all of the names involved, so I think I will do in a different direction for my story posts than I did with the Ramayana. In those stories, I used the names and the plot and I changed the story and time and place up to make it interesting.
For this book, I think I will focus on smaller pieces of the story that interest me. I really liked the first part of the book, where the man is married to the woman who demands to do as she wishes. I found it interesting that he let her drown seven of their children before he spoke up. I also liked the aspect of trickery in this part of the story, because she was actually a god all along and she was fulfilling what she was meant to do.
The part of the story with the five brothers also interests me. It is weird that they all won the same princess as a wife, but I like the backstory that she was treated badly in another life and the man said that she would be loved as if by five men. I think it could be used in a story with some sort of romantic plot very easily.
