- I like the idea of involving the Ganga River in my stories: either manifested as a person or as a river
- It would be interesting to have the Ganga River be the river that the Hogwarts students must travel on to get to Hogwarts
- (AKA the freshmen have to take the boats to get to the castle)
- Shantanu would be a interesting ghost to bring into my story
- It is interesting the emphasis that this story places on hierarchy and order
- The sons are in order for the throne
- Some people feel they are born higher than others.
- _____________ (need to look up name) vowed to never get married, the prince did this to give his father happiness
- The king then granted his son a boon and declared that his victorious son would be able to declare the time of his death
- Without this, death could not touch him
- Am I the only one who sees the parallel between this and the Deathly Hallows?
- The blind king is an interesting character
- It is interesting that these different kings are born blind, pale and normal all from how the woman greeted the sage
- The servant girl being the only to give brith to a normal baby is kind of like a muggle-born
- Some wizards think that wizards who come from muggles are less then them
- This goes back into the theme of "birthright" as mentioned above
