When the first time I read this book, I could not see any connection with little mermaid because I never seen the little mermaid.
The gods in the book <My love My love> was control four different area. Earth, Water, Love and Death. Which was almost everything that this plant need to survive although love was not nessurary in most of time. The plant was made by the earth and water, those two gods was the earth it self who crate every thing.Asaka should be a female who was beautiful enough to let the god of water love her, she was like the Gaia in Greek who shall be the mother of everything that alive on the earth so she should have a beautiful long black hair and always have plants around her but those plant shall never appear on her cloth. Annual should be a male god who have bad temper but because they were in the middle of the sea so he was also important, we could according to Poseidon in Greek myth but he shall not be an fish man or some thing in the sea because that he is the water it self which was pure and clean. Those two gods seem like who was in control with the nature and the plant. So for those two gods I will simple use the color which represent the water and earth which was blue and black to show what they was control and what was their scope.
The love and death was different then the water adn earth, water and earth was the sign of this plant it self which should be the nature that not alive. Love should be the humanity part that human use in the daily life no matter to love others or themselves. And death is a problem all living thing that need to face, their life span, how long they shall live and when it stop. When we came to live, we have to face death, it shall not be a bad thing that depart us form each other but maybe an release to their lives which will give them chance to end everything they want or hate. So the god with death shall be more hopeful then the death we seen in the daily life, it should not wear all black and hold an sickle to took someone’s life but a simple sign of the “end” which should not have any emotion in it. I will put the god of death in white to show that he is the end of all lives but also is an whole new beginning for everything. So he is not evil, not bad or hopeless, he is pure, pure death.
The godness of love was an totally different story, she is not an very powerful god because not any creature know how to love and even they know they may choose not to. So the god of love should show that she is weaker then other three gods because she was not strong enough and effective enough. I will put the god of love in red which show the passionate when people get in love.
So for the once in my time I reread the story of <the little mermaid> and understand that what I have missed during my childhood. I hope <the little mermaid> could help me better understand the book.
