Reading Notes: Indian Popular Tales, Part B

Story source: Italian Popular Tales by Thomas Frederick Crane (1885).

I honestly wasn't a huge fan of these stories. They were so negative and someone is usually eaten for no good reason at all. I think if I were to rewrite one of these stories I would make them more reasonable. They do not necessarily have to be perfect fairytales. But so many of the characters are back-stabbing.

Week Two Story: The Ivory Man

Author's note: When I read the original story for this one, metamorphosis I was drawn to how romantic it is. If you have every seen the 80's film Mannequin , this story reminded me of it. When re-creating this story I wanted to change the gender and different aspects of what a woman might want from a man instead of what a man would want from a woman. I kept to the story for the most part but changed a few things. "Metamorphosis: Pigmalion" from Tony Kline. Web source . Ivory Man In the lovely town of Cyprus there lived a woman named Padme. She was quite fed up with all of the men in her town. She thought they did not see her as an intelligent artist, but only as a woman that should not busy herself with such things. In a fit of annoyance she went to her shop and began working tirelessly on a most beautiful sculpture of a man... The perfect man. The sculpture was crafted from the finest ivory. Padme made sure to make his lips full, his cheekbones high and his
