Storybook Brainstorming Ideas

1.) Storybook Continuation: The Redemption Squad
    • I did a storybook last semester for Myth and Folklore. It was about giving a voice to the villains to explain their side of the story. Are they really an evil villain or a victim of circumstance? It would be interesting to merge the two classes together by injecting an Epics of India villain into that world.
    • Possible Villains:
      • Kaikeyi- betrayed Rama so that her son could be king. 
      • Manthara- convinced Kaikeyi to betray Rama. 

      • Viradha

Manthara


2.) Ramayana: The Other Brothers
    • Since we spend three weeks in this class reading the story of Ramayana, it would be really cool to take a closer look on the story.
    • Since Rama is the protagonist in the story, it must be very hard to be his three other brothers. 
    • Each section would be about Bharata, Lakshmana, and Shatrughna and the trials and tribulations of having such a perfect, well loved brother. 
    • Bharata would be interesting because his mother betrayed his brother Rama, so he could become the maharajah. 
3.) "Its a love story, baby just say yes." 
    • I love a good love story as much as I loved Taylor Swift before her whole "squad goals" era. It would be interesting to do a lighter piece. Especially, because I am, for some reason, more drawn to darker literature. 
    • Possible couples:
      • Rama and Sita-"a heavenly and eternal love."
4.) Incarnation:
    • Wikipedia states that Rama is Vishnu's seventh avatar. It would be interesting to do a story about reincarnated characters. 
    • Avatar: A deliberate descent of a deity to Earthm or a descent of the supreme being.  
    • Other possible characters:
      • Sita is the avatar of Lakshmi. 
Avatars of Vishnu
