The part
about Vaka is so interesting. It reminds
me of that old fable or maybe it is a parable about the grasshopper and the
ant, which was later turned into that kids’ movie A Bug’s Life. I know that
in the parable, the ant helped the grasshopper willingly, but in the movie it
was their job to feed the grasshopper, and if they did not do that, it was
suggested that death and destruction would be involved or something along those
lines. I know that this took a weird
turn, but the dynamic of this situation reminded me of that film and
parable. Possible storytelling
blog. Why were these human sacrifices
made? Was it to eat? Was it to keep the village in fear? How long has this been going on? Who were the people that were sacrificed? How were they chosen? Were any them women or were any of them
children? Was it only men? Did anyone offer themselves to be a sacrifice? What did Vaka do with these sacrifices? How did this entire situation come about? What is the history of the village? Inner thoughts of Bhima as he was sent to
fight them? Inner thoughts of the
villagers as he was sent to fight them?
Were they scared or elated? If he
was triumphant, it would be a great thing, but if he failed, Vaka would surely
be very angry at this attempt. So I am
sure that there would have been tons of mixed emotions.
