Reading Notes: Epified, Part C


Epified. Source: Viki.


For these next two weeks of reading, I'm going back to the Epified: Mahabharata videos to finish all of the parts. 

Part C starts off with the story of Karna and then moves on to the Pandavas. 

The video Karna's Quest. In this part, it gives a great introduction to Karna. Karna was born with the earrings and the armor and they grow with him as he grows. In the next 2 videos, it shows the stories of how Karna grows up, finds a guru to teach him and his interactions with the Pandavas. In the video, Karna becomes King, Karna and the Pandavas take part in a competition. When Karna tells the Pandavas about his lineage, he mentions how he was found in a basket floating down the river. Kunti upon hearing this faints because she realizes this is her first son. Duryodhan helps save Karna from more humiliation in this situation.

I wrote a story about Kunti having to leave her son Karna and what her thoughts would be on it. I think I can write a second part to that story, with like a big time leap into the adulthood of her kids and have her see Karna again at this competition.
