I really like the story of Krishna’s birth. It is very fast paced so one exciting thing after another is happening throughout. When the gods are a big part of a story it seems to be very exciting also because of all of the supernatural things they can do. This would be a great story to tell from Kansa’s point of view. We know that he hates the earth and humans more than the rest of the demons and that the insinuation of his death by the eighth born child of Vasudeva drives him crazy. However, we don’t really know why this causes him to throw his own father into prison other than just wanting the power to do whatever he wants. There is a lot of room to play with this story.
Krishna’s childhood is also exiting! The part about his mother tying the cord around his belly is my favorite part. No matter how many pieces she ties together it still will not reach around him. Then he feels bad for her and ties it around himself. I cannot imagine the confusion she is experiencing at this point. I do love battle. This chapter contains two different demons coming to kill Krishna. The first one is not exactly a battle, but he does suck the lifeblood out of her to which I am sure she fought to stop. The second is more of a battle, but is very short lived. It would be fun to make one of these events a more evenly matched fight.
