Reading Notes: Mahabharata (D)



It’d be nice to see a story where Duryodhana listens to Bhishma and ends the war, but he just had to be difficult..

Abhimanyu is so brave it’d be a nice twist to see him live, or even cooler to see him kill Jayadratha as he enters the breach!

That’s so smart of Arjuna making Jayadratha’s head fly to his father and fall out of his lap so they both die. If this didn’t work or wasn’t thought of the story could have taken an entirely different turn..

Why does Kunti allow Karna to promise her he will only kill Arjuna? Why not make him promise to not kill any of his brothers?

I feel like a plan could have been made to where Ghatotkatcha could have killed Karna instead of just using him as bait to use up Karna’s lance. I wonder how Bhima felt when his son died?

Very clever trick to get Drona to lay down his arms…I wonder what would have happened if he realized that it was all a trick?

Maybe Arjuana should have killed Dhrishtadyumna because then he would have had an honorable death.

I loved reading that Bhima got revenge on Duhsasana for what he did to Draupadi! It’s interesting to me that Bhima fights for Draupadi the most when he was married to other women and had children with others.

If Karna had not lost his chariot I wonder if Arjuna would have still managed to kill him?

Every time I think of the word stubborn Duryodhana will definitely come to my mind!

That’s sad that Ashvatthama killed all of the children while asleep. What if the children rose up and fought against him as if they had all already been training to be warriors?


I’d like to make Draupadi rule the kingdom since her husband, Yudhishthira, won’t.

What if Dhritarashtra didn’t have a son? Or what if the child was a girl?
