Reading Notes: Khasi Folktales, Part A

U Biskurom

I could write from the perspective of U Biskurom and talk about how mankind treated him. His perspective could show the development of both mankind and himself; they start out kind, but end up losing that kindness later on.


When I read this, I imagined an arrogant character that never stopped bragging about his strength. There could be a story about a character who lacks humility and is strong, while there is a character who is weak in comparison, but faster. They prove that strength is not the only value that defines someone and proves the strong character wrong in a duel.

Duel. Source.
