Reading Notes: Marriage The Fox Woman, Part A

These stories are a very beautiful example of the love between a man and a woman. One story really stood out to me. I feel like there are a lot of different angles that I can take this story. One change that I would love to make would be initially I would like to add a fight between the man and woman and that is why the man left. When he comes back he expects the woman to be gone and she is. He would carry on with his normal daily activity, and his house would begin to be a mess. One day he would come back and find his house is in perfect order. Then he would find the wife. She came back because she had missed her husband and had used the skin of a mouse and had hid within the walls of the house to surprise him.
