Karna

Creative Adaption: Birth of Karna I have never considered what a child means to me before I received the mantra from Durvasa. Nor did I think about marriage. However, I am always curious. What do men and women do to have children? What will it feel like when mating with gods? What is it like to give birth to a child of god? Such thoughts are just bothering me all the time, whenever I am eating, bathing or dreaming. Sometimes I cannot help but to think such questions in my mind even when talking to other people. Finally I tell myself that I cannot stand this any more. My brain would explode because of curiosity unless I try invoking a god and figure out what it would be to make love with god. In fact I do not have to be really pregnant. I…

When Enkidu’s and Karna’s forthcoming death drew near, they felt and accepted it because they understood the implications of their lives. Karna understood his aspiration to be a strong warrior was the reason why he was cursed in the first place. If he had not sought to advance his archery skills, he would not have obtained the two curses that would eventually kill him. Additionally, his desire for greatness earned him kingship, which changed not only his social status, but also diminished his…

She expresses her desire to buy the portrait, to secret it away so that she could look at it whenever she wanted to. Her attraction towards Karna, who was later revealed to be …

that Arjuna had yet not shown up in the court of Panchaal.However, Draupadi’s heart jumped a beat when she caught a glimpse of Karna seated next to his best friend Duryodhan. On looking at Draupadi, Duryodhan made a comment to which all his peers laughed slapping his knee while Karna sat still as a flame. She wondered in rage why Krishna and her brother Dhrishtdyumna had insisted on her to marry Arjuna while they dissuade her from developing interest in Karna when Arjuna had not even been…

in establishing Panchaali’s thoughts and emotions. The character of Dhai Ma plays a major role in bringing Panchaali’s real identity. Dhai Ma is the one who explains to her the story of her birth.

As Dhai Ma described the feast given by King Drupadi after the birth of the two children, Panchaali was thinking about the names – “Dhristadyumna,…

The Odyssey and the Mahabharata both start with the main heroine telling their stories of sorrow and how they overcame their troubles. Ulysses tells of the heavy hand Heaven laid upon him, while Drona depicts his poor life in a village.

The two epic poems are also similar in the way they revere family…

It was about two groups of people from the same family fighting. On one side were the Kauravas and on the other there were the Pandavas. Although there were more Kauravas, the Pandavas were much stronger. The Kauravas were led by Karna, who was the first son of the mother of the Pandavas. The Pandavas were led by the god Krishna. At the end of the fight, the…

of criticisms. A very noticeable aspect is the double standard held by many formidable characters such as Bhīma, Drona, Arjuna, and many others. While there is no doubt that the good they performed certainly outweighs the evil it is important that they not be portrayed as infallible- for legends as they are, they are also human. Surely, no person is entirely good or bad as it is impossible for an individual to be so. The good and bad in people is exaggerated to a great degree although it is…
