03 - The Dog II

As a story I chose a native North American creation myth - the Cheyenne story of the sparring brothers Malsum and Glooksap, a story also common to the Arapaho, Fox and Mohicans of the Algonquin Nations. I transposed this story to the setting of Victorian Dublin and I replaced Malsum and Glooksap with Charlie and Sydney Chaplin.

I had been reading Charlie Chaplin's biography whilst working on 'Moll Flanders' and I found the perfect parallel to the Indian myth in young Charlie's childhood relationship with his brother and their insane mother.
