Reading Notes: Mahabharata, Part A


Farquaad
King Shantana & Satyavati: The story of Shantana and Satyavati caught my attention because for some odd reason I could just envision a fairytale with it. I'm not quite sure why my creative senses automatically go to fairytales, but they do so I just roll with it. I'm thinking that I can change the characters around a little bit to make them more fitting to a prince and a princess. I'll probably make  Satyavati's character a lost princess instead of her not being chosen by the rajah. It will probably resemble the story of sleeping beauty a little bit.

Bhishma At The Swayamvara: This story was kind of interesting to me because Bhishma had to go seek out the King's brides for him. Why couldn't the King do it himself? It made me think of Lord Farquaad from Shrek who made Shrek risk his life in order to save his princess. I think it may be a fun twist to combine both sleeping beauty and Shrek, but I'm not sure how I'd do that just yet since different characters are used in these two stories!
