Yudhishthira gambling away Draupadi
(source: wikipedia)
This story honestly just seems like one battle among family members. I'm pretty sure everyone is related to each other in at least some way at this point. It's entertaining as families, especially large ones, tend to definitely have their feuds among blood.
Karna going ballistic over any potential for peace is an absolute representation of the history of man. Not only does he refuse peace, but he also wants there to be a war. This fact just further proves my point as this is a continuous cycle haunting mankind.
There was enjoyment found in making a certain connection. When Dhritarashtra granted the Pandavas the ability to build their city, they decided to name it Indraprastha. Among the Pandavas is Arjuna who is the son of the god Indra. Even though it's obvious, it's still a nice connection to make.
It's still amusing to see how easily marriage is tossed around in these stories. It seems like every character absolutely has to have a wife. This point was made even more obvious when Arjuna is exiled and during his exile he marries two women.
The dice game was really alarming. I guess I wasn't expecting the correct things but it just seemed like it wouldn't escalate as much. I understand that revenge was at play but the events of the game really got out of hand and I was so surprised to see them unfold.
Since Bhima is my favorite character, I am looking forward to how he will seek his revenge. I'm hoping he will live up to expectations. I will be disappointed if something happens that prohibits Bhima from properly having his revenge.
In seems like I am stopping at such an eventful part of the story. The next part is bound to be filled with nonstop suspense. The Pandavas gearing up to fight over the result of the dice game seemed very intense and things are looking grim for their enemies.
