- “The Brahman who died because Poison from a Snake in the Claws of a Hawk fell into a Dish of Foodgiven him by a Charitable Woman. Who is to blame for his death?” That took me a second to wrap my head around
- What is the significance of the “swami” ending to a name
- “Nothing is impossible to the brave and determined man” This seems to be the moral of the larger story.
- It is interesting that this story doesn’t revolve around getting a girl like most of the others do, though it does involve losing a girl
- Why did the king pretend to be a thief and then just leave? Seems awfully anticlimactic
- “ He showed more than human valour.” That seems like a rather odd thing for a thief to show
- “But the more he scolded, the more determined she became” Determination
- When Shiva grants Pearl the boon, she makes relatively selfless wishes
- “he immediately slipped from the king's shoulder and escaped to his home. But the king was not discouraged” Persistent, isn’t he?
- Giving away your wife like that is rather creepy. At least the king seems to understand that
- “No great man stops in the middle of the hardest undertaking.”
- All of the stories have multiple people that come together somehow. Might be significant
- It seems like the stories are all interconnected. I’m pretty sure that some of the names of people and places are repeated
- At first, it seemed like the magician was going to bring the boy back to life and be a hero. Instead he basically stole his body and his old life
- “The king paid no attention to the terrible witch of night, clad in black darkness” where did the witch come from?
- Hmm. It’s a tad odd that there are character’s whose names have the word lion in them considering the fact that every mention of lions up to this point has been negative
- So the goblin was actually helping the king? Nice plot twist
- The king doesn’t seem too concerned about finding out the correct answer
