Reading Part C
Life in the Forest
The Pandavas getting followed into the forest seems creepy. I wonder If I could take a twist on this of Wild West where the Pandava brothers are walking home down an alley. I still don't understand the wife situation.
Krishna's Visit
Draupadi was not fought for after her affliction, and she has five. That seems absurd, why wouldn't at least ONE husband care. Draupadi is a little materialistic. Maybe the brothers are right to not have much love for her. Anger is sinful and the cause of destruction. Forgiveness is holiness. I like that as the idea for a story.
Arjuna and Shiva
I still like that no one can defeat Arjuna, especially if he goes to the mountains because I like the mountains. I could write about someone leaving the Wild West and praying to 'some' god in the dessert.
Living on air alone? Year right.
After the dispute after the hog and the arrows turned onto each other, I think that is a great fast draw story. I don't like Arjuna losing, though. Being liked by his opponent is an interesting idea. The divine bow could be a new pistol or something.
Arjuna and Indra
Arjuna and Indra battling seems like a tough battle.
Sea monsters could be changed to dogs or something in the west.
Indra could bring anything against Arjuna but he prevails.
Women luring Arjuna could be the same in a saloon, but then Flee when they are frightened by Indra who storms back in the saloon.
The Himalayas
Arjuna staying in an unknown city could translate to the Wild West. Sin cleansing water could also translate.
Exiles traveling to the mountains could do the same but in the dessert.
The bad guy, (Indira), is always around.
Bhima and Hanuman
Bhima gathers flowers for Draupadi was nice. The monkey that wouldn't move could be translated to a beggar in disguise. The money or beggar was wise and provides or tells a story to Bhima about the division of families and resources and how to prevent it.
