Week 10 Reading Diary A: The Mahabharata cont.

  • What would it have been like to stay at Duryodhana's camp? Such merriment and fun, they were all probably oblivious to his malicious and greedy intentions - pg 102
  • Chasing and hunting a deer because someone in distress asked him to do so; this is very much like when Sita asked Rama to catch her the golden deer. I wonder if this is a trap? - pg 104
  • Arjuna's choice of disguise while staying in Matsya is extremely interesting! What would make him want to be that way? What would it be like for him to see the privacy of a ladies' chamber?  - 109
  • The fact that the Queen herself feels threatened by Draupadi's beauty is an alarming sentiment. Rather than feel threatened, she should appreciate Draupadi's kindness and friendship and use her own power to protect her. - pg 113

  • WHAT THE F$%&! She gets molested and when her husband defends her honor and kills the asshole, SHE get's blamed?? I can't handle this. If I wrote it differently, Draupadi would kick some ass
  • The encounter between the Prince and Arjuna is pretty funny - could be written very comically
  • Every part of the battle preparations seems to be out of trickery or spies - that's just not right! Sometimes it's hard to remember that the good guys aren't always good
